does anyone know the stock weight of the FD wheels. no tire. i heard theres a difference in years due to some rim cracking. so they made some heavier. or stronger whatever.....



any recomendations for a nice looking light weight (18inch) wheel reasonably priced? pics would help. im thinking about axis hiro. or maybe the rota p45r. but i would like a lighter rim.

ohhhhhh.....i see the super racing advans are also very nice! anyone have pics of there car (or a car) with 17's? do they look to small? im planning on going with racing beat springs. i would rather have 17's but (for weight reasons, and there cheaper) but i dont want them looking to tiny inside the wheel well.

i wish i still had my camera so i could take a pic of mine. i have 18" BBS rims. they are very light, and they look good on my car. i think the 17's just look too small, but thats just me.
