:-D thanks guys - thats exactly what I was going for - just a clean rim to not make it too over the top.

They are actually made by a company called Ice Cold Racing - but they are look-alikes of the Enkei RP03's Only difference is about 1000 bucks and 8 pounds. :)

Very nice. im having a hard time getting rims at a fair price so im still on steelies. I was wondering if you went to a lowering spring b4 getting your rims? i lowerd mine 2' with the dz springs and now im on the lookout for 17'rims. Hows the clearance on your car? any rubbing?

Yeah, i lowered it with a set of Evotion Springs, on KYB GR2 struts.

No rubbing what so ever, the clarence between the top of the wheel and bottom of the strut is .75" and i can turn completely in any direction with no rubbing. The tired size is 205/40/R17

I got these rims from Ebay for 155 before shipping :)
