dude stole my car!

If you're riding at stock height, I'd keep the stock rims. Also look into the wheel weights. I believe those milles weigh ~23 lbs each in 17", which would make the car noticably slower off the line.

I didnt steel your car

Im riding at stock hight right now... but thats only cause my husband hasnt had the chance to intsall my progress springs yet. I want 18's ... and yes the weight will make it slower off the line so If I ever go to the track Ill just put the stockers back on

I had considered them at one time... my husband almost bought them for his focus but they were out of stock and ended up w/ the RS5

I dunno what Im gonna do... I just know I want new wheels...

Thumbs up

Ace... no question.

Here's a link for ya http://www.machiii.net/machiii/html/...ace/MANTA.html

$220 each. 18x7.5" 43mm offset.

I've owned Ace wheels in the past (17x7.5" Monacho's.) They're a heavy wheel as well. Just an FYI....



MachIII.net is straight up. I bought my Rota's from them. No problems at all.

Maybe you should just go used. Check out ebay and the forum for sale section. Just a suggestion.
