Sorry that it took so long and that it was a rainy day when I shot. I'll get some better ones when it's nice and I'm not overworked. Plus I have detailing to do now that my car actually looks nice.

Hope ya'll dig 'em! I like how you can see my slotted/cross drilled brakes! Oh yeah!

wow man. they dude look great.
how are the rotors for ya?
They look near stock. but those rims seriously do look good. glad you didn't go all out by going too flashy. it's a very sharp subtle appearance.

Not bad.
But IMO the mesh style of the rims not my taste.
The rims do sit flush wit the car from the pictures you took.

Thanks y'all. The rotors are pretty good, especially with stainless steel brake lines. They're way waaaay better than stock, although now that I have bigger wheels I'm thinking it may be time for bigger brakes.

I didn't want to be real flashy (grew up in what has become a rough neighborhood, still go there to see family, not smart to show off much), but they stand out a lot more in real life than these rainy day pictures show. Especially when the car is clean. I'll shoot some more when it's clean and it's nice outside, but I've been waiting for a month for those stars to align, and I want Solaraguy folks to see 'em!

They sit very flush with the car, they almost look like optional factory wheels. I was going to get the Revos at first like you did SleeperSolara, but I like these just as much, and they're easier to find, and I got a helluva deal.

I like the rims... and also have 17x8 with 225/50/17 rubber. (Although I am going to 235/50 or 245/45 on my upcoming switch...)


Nice.
