So I'm looking for something different for my car but not entirely ghey or fugly looking, what do you guys think about these? They are 18x8 and 18x9 weighing in at 23.8 lbs. To put in perspective my rims are 30lbs n 31lbs each. Vote! Discuss!

I think those are nice & dam lite. There's no risk in buying them if you keep your other wheels. But your other wheels are nice as hell!!

Actually, the only thing I didn't like was that they aren't deep dish. It's a tough one, if you buy them where you can still make a profit if you wanna sell em, go ahead.

They look okay, but of course you can't tell really without the chop. These look similar to a WORK wheel I have seen on many imports, look great on evo's and such but I dunno about our cars.

Dont do it!!! Your car looks too sick the way it is to change it...and i definitely think no matter what it would be a change for the worse. Now if you were to switch to something like CCW's, i'd totally be game, but not these. lol

Only since you asked, they look a little to Ricer for me. The weight savings is great, but unless your a hardcore racer I assume you are mainly going for look. To me and my worthless opinioin even the FR500's look a little ricey.
