Hey, what are the Pro and Cons by going
from SH rims to a aftermarket LIGHT 16x7 rims. Can you guys suggest a good sub-$1k
rims and tires combo with 16x7 rating?
PICS would be nice 2

I like the Power Racing VS-04 for a lightweight, cheap wheel. I know they make a 17", but I'm not positive if they have our bolt pattern in the 16.

They come in white, silver, and bronze.

Well, first of all, you're shaving some weight by going lightweight wheels. You can also run wider tires on 7" rims (I'm running 225/45ZR16 on 16x7) for more traction. Then the offset will push the wheels outward a little. This helps on cornering 'cuz the car is a little more stabilized.

Spoon 16x7.5 SW388 rims...very light at about 12lbs/rim and they look tite as hell.

I thought Spoon SW388s only come in 16x7, just like RegaMaster EVOs.

ur right...they are 16x7...somehow i thought they were wider.

i dont think spoons w/ tires are under $1000

i dont think its worth it...you can't really get a 16x7 rim/tire combo for under $1k that is gonna look better than stock...the 5th gen rims are nice...they're not really heavy at about 18lbs each...

light rims come at a high cost...
