I really dig the look, what do you guys think?







Manufacturer : Speedy WheelSize : 17x7Style : Lite 6Weight : 15.6 lbsTires : Goodyear Ultra 205/40/17

They're gonna go on our focus but I really like the style. Wonder if black wheels with a silver lip would look good on my sentra? Anyways, what do you guys think of them?

Lol! Those look eerily reminiscent of my stock wheels, which I've been considering painting black, but leaving the lip the stock silver (or all black). Definitely belong on the Sentra, but the Focus will benefit too!

They are sexy!

I knew there was a problem when you said they were only 205's.... skinny arse go-cart tires!

They should make the Focus look good though!

They look really good! But I've talked to many wheel shops, and most don't sell Speedy Wheel's because they have a tendency to crack. So keep an eye out.

Nah I'll buy some race wheels eventually. I sold my stock ones and I still need to put like 1900 miles on the bottom end of my motor so I don't know how much auto-x I'll be doing in '05. Regardless, if I come across a set of really hot JDM wheels in like 16" or 17" for cheap that are wide I'd have to consider it. Cause god knows I wouldn't be auto-x'ing with all that HP on Kumho 712's

yeah couldn't pass them up for the price. He has dirty cheap prices on all kinds of stuff. First time dealing with the company but I'm super pleased. Not to mention that he told me I'd have them like early next week and they came today.

I think they'd look killer on your car. I really dig the style.

Here's the link to the cardomain page (badly needs to be updated as lots of stuff isn't listed and the pics are old) http://www.cardomain.com/id/nsrs2focus

Funny thing is that its my mom's car, she's always been into cars, I know I know, kinda odd having the mom and not the dad be the car person. Anyways its a very fun little car to drive and should be seeing a Jackson Racing supercharger here in the near future as well as some more mods. It keeps my Z company in the garage

Nice. I was going to ask how you expected to fit the four-lug wheels on a Z, but then I read the rest of the thread. Reading entire threads makes a big difference.

Yes with tires. I know crazy cheap. And they have tons of different wheel manufacturers and stuff. Got a feeling there going to be getting a lot of my money with cool quality wheels for that cheap.

Yeah I'm not sure the pattern on the other set of holes but I'd imagine they're like 4x100 (common honda) or something.
