Okay guys, I got a lot of mods done to my car...but the one thing i never had the cash for and always wanted was some new damn wheels! lol I want your opinions on these wheels...

Stats: 17x7; +42 offset; 5x100 & 5x4.50 dual drilled bolt pattern; 21lbs wheel weight; comes with center caps/hub rings

I should have no problem right? I have an 02 GT1 still with stock wheels. 16x7, +42mm offset, 225/50/R16 tires (that are starting to go bad) hence i figure, shit, if im going to have to buy new tires, might as well get tires & wheels, riiiiight son?? ;-)

Also, the tires that come with these are very new (so are the wheels) but has anyone heard/know anything about motegi tires? They good? all season? (even though id put the stock back on in the winter) lol

Isn't the 99+ bolt pattern larger? Something like 5 x 115. Is that what the 5 x 4.50 is?

The only downside to the wheels pictured is the fake bolts. I have fake bolts on my wheels and it makes 40 hard to clean crannies on each wheel.

yes the 5x4.50 is actually 5x114.3 which will fit the 99+ GA's. Rand, I've been lookin at 18's but they are all definately too much for any black ones I like...I have the 16's on my car now and they look fine, but I figured the 17's would be an upgrade and the black wheel is really what i want...not more the size...i dunno :-(

I stick to the 17's bud. Keeps the weight low and they still look much better than stock

if you consider 21lbs 'low' for a wheel - yeesh T-T

but they are fine if you dont plan on autcrossing it.

Good style, I just dont know if I would like them on a grand am.
