Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest I Decided On Wheels - Look E

After wracking my brain on what wheels to buy I have finally decided on a set and ordered them. I was having a tough time deciding what I wanted...Looks, Lightness, Finish (wanted Gunmetal color)...Most of the aftermarket wheels for our cars are as heavy or heavier then stock (17" as heavy as stock). I like the Rage 5.0 but they are common and I don't really think "Rage" is a reputible sp? wheel company. I decided on these..... Advanti Racing (ADR) Mase. 17".... What do you think?

If I don't like the color/Finish I can always powdercoat them. They weigh only 17.5 lbs a piece!!! I will post pics on my car after this weekend. They should be here Friday, can't wait..
And yes, I bought new tires. Kumho 712 - I have had Kumho's before and they can not be beat for the price.

Nice...I like those quite a bit actually! I'd love to see them in person if you can find time to hook up. I'm looking for wheels as well but want them to be light weight. If you don't mind...how much did they cost you?

Anything for you Brad....I can't wait to see them in person either. I found them at Whalen Tire . They were $119.00 a piece, can't beat that!! And they are light....17.5 lbs.. I will let ya know as soon as they arrive. I can also snap some shots when they arrive at my office.

Edit: It has to be one of the lightest wheels available in 4x108 4x4.25. The OZ Superleggera weighs only 1/2 pound lighter. (17")

Good choice!

Begone post whore!!! Begone!!

Great thanks Chad...I can't wait. You wouldn't be too offended if I ended up getting the same wheels would you??

Thats a great deal for that lite of a wheel!!

I agree! Great wheel choice, Chad!

Brad, Colter...LMAO at you two!

Not at all....I did the research for 2 days in my spare time..(umhumm-work). You can't find a better looking lighter wheel for the price. It just doesn't exist. Can't wait to see them live!!!!! These are my first "aftermarmet" wheels. What do I torque the lugs to? I imagine same as stock torque right?

Cool...I can't wait to see them on the car. It should be a great comparison considering both our cars are Silver.

I heard that with aftermarket wheels you need to torque them to a certain amount then drive with them for a bit(2 days?) and re-torque to make sure. Something about the metal around the lug seats flexing or moving...I can't remember exactly.

Edit: BTW, what size Kumhos' did you get?

Hey can't I hijack a thread in peace? What the hell man?

You'd think you would get enough of Hi-jacking all the other posts on the CEG...leave us alone for a bit!!! :p
