Default wheels???

I need some opinions on wheels. Im getting rid of my 20s and I'm looking for 18s that are a little lighter and better looking. I found a few in my budget.. What do you all think?

Going on a white 05 GT bone stock.

The Motegi's are only 19lbs, pretty light for the price.

Yeah I don't know what's up with that, I went ahead and decided on the Motegi's though mainly because they were so light for the price, and all black..

Very cool. Well, when you get them and get them installed, you'll have to post up some pics.

Well turns out, since I'm so indecisive and I had someone else looking also (the person buying my current wheels) I finally (he found) The wheels I've been wanting.
Should hopefully be here in a few days.

They have the wrong offset for your car. They are going to stick out beyond the fenders... hope you are not lowered or plan to lower.

Well that sucks. Oh well. I'm sure I can get a way with at least an inch if I do. I still love the way they look.

Wow, never seen a white with red leather. That's pretty unique. You should get black racing stripes to tie it all together
