Yeah, aftermarket wheels can really make a big difference in the looks of these cars. Not that the stock wheels are bad looking by any means. They're just too.....well, common!
I love the Volk SF-Challenge if they were around $2000-2200 for all 4 I would defiantly go for them.
However i still don't know what they weigh if they are anymore then 18lbs i won't buy them.
I've also hear that they bend easy and they aren't hub centered any confirmation?
I also like the mazdaspeed rims but they are only 17inches right?
But at 16.8lbs they are light as hell, hub centered and strong as can be, and at 499 each their just right.
SSR comps are great and very light wheels however everyone and their mother has them.
Quick question is getting more OFFSET then you need to clear the caliper a bad idea? The way i under stand it is that less material is used if you get a larger offset hense less weight. Is there any downside to a lets say +50 offset?
