I might take those 17's off your hands if you buy the rota's
Sorry sold them locally already...

And it looks like the grids with tires weigh in 2lbs each lighter than the lite 6's...doesnt seem like thats enough difference to care about the weight...(but I dunno)

Here's a pic...they are gonna need a paintjob before I put them on...the custom gold he did doesnt suit me.

Put them on now the way they are painted, I bet it will look pretty good on black.

Was thinking I might...if nothing else it will give me a pic to use in photoshop to change the colors. lol as it is the wife hates them. pretty sure she thinks I am dumb for getting rid of the lite-6's, she def doesnt like the gold...I'm up in the air about it. /shrugs. I'll put them on when I get home and get a pic up.

also, what tires were on your old wheels, cuz nicer tires can often way more because of the reinforced sidewall and such.

The tires that were on it were Zexius XI-326 from Schwabs, they are a good tire not sure if they are superior to the toyo proxies though (toyo's are more $$).

But as a side note I would recommend the zexius tire to anyone. Awesome wet/dry weather traction. Both sets I've had were siped so I dunno how they would act w/o.

And lol yeah I should leave them gold...it would insure that she would never wanna drive the car. She already hates the seats...so she doesnt wanna take it when we go places (and I thought when I bought it the days of driving the Neon were over)

Two pounds at each wheel is a big difference compared toeight pounds of weight from the body. You might as well get a Mugen sticker on the car because it's going to be a bit faster.
