Well.. I ditched the n00b "Drag" brand wheels, and ordered up some good ole' Diamond Racing wheels!

I only have this crappy cellphone picture as of right now, but I'll try to get some better shots with my BB later. Now NICO... before you FLIP OUT...

I am going lower. I have PBMs on the way (just waiting on a shipment). I just thought these new jewels looked pretty cool, and I wanted to share with everyone. After all, there is only a few pictures of 240s with DR wheels floating around (that I've stumbled across, anyway).

The only thing I see that's needed with those wheels is yellow letter tires.

I definitely think your old wheels look better. Even with the high offset.

I like the new ones, they fill the gap much nicer than the old ones. They make the car look a lot meaner too, much more like a race car.

The guys at work told me that I needed to hop on the next dirt-track circuit. lol

I'm happy with them. They look aggressive and match the "POS" look of my car. haha It will look better when I get my PBMs (whenever they get a shipment).

They are 16x8 -0 offset.

205/55/r16 profile tires.

As for the xxr comment.... I haven't seen ANY diamonds in my area, and only a few online.

Let the haters hate <3

Yes, I'm running stock brakes.

@s13k1d:

The 16x9s are going to run a bit more expensive. I wanted them, but they are considered a "Custom" size, and are like 199/ea. I ALMOST pulled the trigger and got the 16x10s for the rear, but I decided that they were going to stick out too much. I'm happy with the 8in wheels though.

I like them a lot. They have the look of a grassroots racer. I think they would look good with a red pin strip as well.
