Looking For 17" rims Need Advice
Saturday, March 04, 2006 10:13 PM
So im looking for some light 17" rims, No chrome!!!
Preferablly like a black or even gunmetal would do
I was thinking of these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Gunmetal-Wheel-Rims-Cavalier-Neon-Eclipse-Celica_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43957QQitemZ8028253868QQrdZ1

What do you think??

Basically that style, though I dont like all the holes drilled in the center, i would prefer like a solid hub.

Plus these would be used as a daily driver and autocross rim so keep that in mind.

probably want to pay around 550 for them max. Thanks!

You mentioned that you want light. MR7's are like boat anchors.

I've got them. I know. Look nice, they do... but light they are not.

word... MR7's are played out. That style of rim is just plain boring to me now. I get tired of seeing them.

Flat black traklites in 15s or 17s, they're simple and light, explains the lite part. But, they are expensive. Just an idea, thats what I'd get if I had the cash. Dont know if the offset works though.

the offset will work on the Motegi Traklites. Karo used them on his 02 Cav with Wilwood fronts. I'm not sure what brakes he was using in the rear, but I *think* they were the Baer rears. the rims are 17x7.5 with I think a 38 offset. you'll have to search the net to make sure of that though.
The 5zigen FN01R's and R-C's are no longer made in full matte black. I couldn't find them anywhere when I was looking for rims. you can get them in gloss black with a polished lip. the 17's run around 16 pounds, and you can get them in 17x7.5 and 17x8. if you're really looking for a nice matte black rim, I did order some. I'll post mine as soon as I get them on the car.

I think it has the wrong bolt pattern.

J's= 5x100 I think.
