How important is wheel weight to you? ADR’s usually weigh a tonne! When you consider rims of that size and weight believe me, you will notice a performace loss.

I like the 3’rd set of Motegi the best. Find out the weights and base your choice on that.

The 3rd rim is really clean. They will look really sexy on your car. As for the others their beautiful i love the the BBS style spokes in the second pic but they would draw too much attention to the wheels and not the overall car. I dont like ppl noticing wheels first…or a huge spoiler…or sum crazzy front end, I like to see a car and not kno exactly what im looking at thats soo sexy but overall :shock: WOW what a sick car.

lol. yea that’s the name. i believe the 17X9 +24 will fit very nicely. +20 looks to stick out a bit without camber.

i’m going for the motegi’s myself. 🙂

not like here where all the old guys hang around forever even after they sell their 240s and bitch about all the people carrying on the traditions…

So, maybe that is a good thing that they disappear sometimes.
