Going with the gloss black color since it will make good contrast on both my Frosted Tour and my Titanium Civic (They will be double drilled at 4/100 and 4/108). I will be using 215/45/17 tires (Brand is still undecided). Will put them on my 02' Civic EX for now, and slap em on the Tour' for the track when the time comes. XL

How wide is the rim? For a "race" wheel yes, but that is quite light for most 17" rims. Now depending on the price it could be well worth it though. If it's priced like a race wheel then it's not. Plus it's heavy. It is a nice looking rim. Wonder what finish options they have??? 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Gunmetal Hyperblack Black Latest update is that my distributor sold their last black set, and they do not have anything else other than gunmetal in the US . Looks like I am stuck with gunmetal... Seems to be a nice color either way, plus the semi-flat finish gives the car a racier look. Let's hope it works... XL
