Put my rims on tonight
I got my rims today, me likey! I think they look great, they'll look much better with the springs on. I NEED to replace the brake pads, these don't want to stop the heavier rim/tire combo very easily. I'm also going to have to replace a CV joint soon, it's clicking like crazy when I turn now. Here's the pics, sorry the night shots are so shitty, but it was dark by the time i got done.

I looked at the wonderful pics again and realized the wheels have just 4 lugs, and my 3rd gen Protege has 5 lugs. Oh well, I couldn't see spending nearly $1,000 for wheels, especially if they are heavier. But if I did have the cash, I would get something very similar to what you chose.

Heavy? Those are some of the lightest wheels that Konig makes. Something like 17 lbs for the 17". They are available in 5 bolt as well but I'm not sure about the offsets. That is left as an exercise for the user [ http://www.wheelspecs.com/ ]

That stuff is about the same $$$ as the front and rear jspec bumpers. Oh well, I need to be able to drive it, hehehe...
