Are these Decent Rims????

i think that these would look fine if u like the glossy type and if black goes well with the color of your car.

Are these Decent Rims????

Was looking into getting these rims for my 02 Corolla.

As far as quality goes, they seem fine. I've never been a fan of black glossy rims myself, but if you like them, I'd say go for it cause they may look good with the color scheme your going for on your car. Good luck

If you're going for all show no go then yeh, mortegi is for u.

It looks like, but Motegi is heavy.

i think they look fine....of course i am biased since that's what i have on my car

i think those wheels are kinda crappy. 21lbs for a 17? thats kinda heavy. But hey if you like em then knock yourself out.

Yea. I'd have to agree. 21 lbs is heavy. I have a set of 15 inch rota slipstreams weigh only 12 lbs. Car handles a lot better as you can see the big difference in the weight ratios. If your going for performance, this wheel wouldn't be the best choice. If your going for show, this wheel would be ok.

all show and no go?! let's be honest people.. but our corolla's aren't going to win any street races any time soon. go with what looks good dude.

21lbs isnt bad...

OK guys..for those of you talking smack about how "heavy" that is...then YOU help this guy out. Show him where he can get a 17" rim that weighs considerably less than 21lbs for the $125/wheel price range? Take a look at the wheels on discount sites like tirerack or tires.com ..their wheels cost more and weigh more.

You could fill yer tires with helium to take off a pound or two....

LMAFO, this is 5 lbs, for like $800 less.... face it the only reason you would really need lighter wheels is so you can tell your buds how light they are.

Here's an idea in that regard... LIE!

i have a set of icw racing rims 18/7.5 with 225-40-18 the rims weigh 25 pounds i didnt notice a diffrence in performance other than they corner better and with the tires i have they dont have bad wheel spin so if you like them go for it

I disagree there buddy, Vortex's Corolla runs a 13 in the 1/4 dood, he keeps up with my buddie's 04' Yamaha YZF600R so I wouldn't say we don't have potential cause hell if we do <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Big Grin" />

actually, heavier wheels decrease more than just your acceleration. They are harder on your brakes, can increase your stopping distance, and increase tire wear. Is this something you're going to notice considerably, probably not. but, it still is a consideration.

as for a lighter weight wheel... try the enkei dm5.. discounttiredirect.com $131 a wheel...

and dude.. if you want some better rims for not bad, i can get you a set of 17's w/ tires for $820 + shipping... name brand stuff, not motegi which u can buy at pep boys

bullllllllllllllll fuckkkkkkkkkkkkking shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt<br />
<br />
no car in the fucking world, can keep up with no bike in the fucking world..<br />
<br />
my cousin's old 250 ninja would smoke the shit out of every corolla on this damn forum..no doubt bout it<br />
<br />
a 600 would tear a corolla a new asshole with space to put decorations...

Maybe you should try some 15" Konig Helium or even Rota slipsteam or subzero before you say so.

Was he pushing his bike next to the Corolla? 13 in the 1/4 for a bike? HA! Out of your mind!

i'm thinking the bike never left 1st gear

I own a GSX-R600 03', and my buddy has the YZF-R6 04', and there is no way he can keep up with us, maybe not even ferraris.

even a 250 would smoke the shit out of our corollas, end of that

haha WRONG! I have a vid right here of a 94 Single turbo Supra beating a Hayabusa.

and a 250 beating a ~14 second car. I doubt that. Don't call BS unless you know what you're talking about.
