I have new wheels!

I decided to get some new 17's. I went with the Enkei RSF-2 rim and Kuhmo tires.
The rim is 17"x7" with a 40 mm offset, The tires are 215/40/17. Everything fits perfect with no rubbing. I know there are better and lighter rims out there, but I only paid $900 out the door and I am selling mt stock rims to someone for $250. The rims weigh 19.8 lbs, which I do not think is all that heavy for a 17" rim. I have seen heavier. I really wanted to get the OZ Superleggeras which weigh 15.8, but I could not justify $280 per rim. I only paid $125 for the Enkei's and I can't go fast anyways! I was afraid about the offset, but I guess it is OK. I have a sedan.

Awesome, those are the rims that I wanted to get for my ride, but in 16s! Be sure to post pics, I'd really like to see what they look like!
