Just ordered new wheels, give me your 2 cents

So I attempted to paint my stock rims and that was a total flop. Absolutely hated the results so I just broke down and ordered some new rims and tires. Take a look and let me know what you think, good and bad. These are going on a black GD8.

Browsing all the rims that the company has on their site I can say that you purchased the only ones I like!

Cool thanks my girlfriend helped me pick them out. I was going to go with black with a red lip but I think that'd be too dark. I like them in the polished as well.

I'm not a fan of bronze rims. I like the design though.

wow, I really like them.
The titanium finish is nice.

X2 on the weight question.

I actually like the bronze wheels on black. They should look good.

No I dont know the weight. I'm anxious to see what it is. I guess I might have to weigh them here at home with the tires on and subtract the known weight of the Kumho ecsta's. BTW I got them in 15x6.5

you could also contact them and ask for the weight before you order them. what if they're like 20 lbs. each lol.

Love the design but I'm not a fan of bronze wheels. Make sure you get pics up when you mount them.

Blizzam!!!! I got them on, they are sweet as hell. I love the look. Now I just gotta slam it on the ground, progress springs are next. The Kumho Ecsta ASX tires drive nice. Still have not gotten the exact weight but i picked them up before the tires were put on and I would guess they are between 9-11 lbs a piece. extremely light. Again these are 15x6.5 +42mm
