what do you guys think of these rims

motegi ff15 rims white (19lbs)



what do you guys think about these rims? my rolla is dark green right now but am painting it a metallic purple color for my girl since she drives it most the time.

They look good, but 19 pounds is pretty damn heavy. I have 20 pound 5zigens on my car, and the whp loss is REALLY bad.

It looks pretty good.

not my style at all

not ''classy'' but still very different

it will get dirty fast, still looks good though.

don't go white..

^^

ya I agree, not white. I'm not into the design that much though cause of all the spokes. Its not that bad though. Can't really say much until I see it on the car.

Similar rims come stock on a Jetta and GTI.

19 lbs before or after rubber..?

NO WHITE! and they're really, really heavy

it takes ALOT to pull of white wheels, all the spokes arent my personal taste

5 spoke for life

no less than 5 no more than 7... but I love 5 spokes.

split 5 spoke is my fetish at the current moment...

i also love these!

regular silver split spokes loke awsome on almose any car

before the rubber. also i didn;t seam to think the 19 pounds was that heavy for a 17 inch rim I mean the stock toyota 14 inch rims on the corolla way 19 pounds according to the manuals at work. I've seen lighter like 15lbs five spoke rims (aftermarket). as far as the lots of spokes was her idea i tried to get something with 5 to 7 spokes but she wanted the 10 or 15 spoke lol. still tring to talk her out of them she kind of like the motegi mr7s

Well I don't think it's even possible to have any wheels and tires for cars that weigh under like 20-25 pounds ready to bolt on.

Anyhoo, even if stock 14's weigh 19 pounds, it's still not gonna effect the performance like a 19 pound 17" wheel will have. the 14's would have a lot of the weight concentrated towards the center compared to 17's which have the majority of the weight on teh outside.

Personally, I wouldn't touch most Motegi wheels. Especially Mr7's. The 17's weigh like 25 pounds, which is rediculous for the amount of money you're paying. Much better off getting some Rotas or some shit, they only weigh 16 pounds.

lol I just looked up the weight on the motegi mr7 seven they are real heavy like you said only reason I'm going with the motegi right now is we getting the rims from rent a wheel they only had, motegis, velox, and primax wheels avaliable for import cars 90 percent of the rims they have are for suvs the I haven't look into velox yet but most of the primax ones are heavy as well the have one model I think it's primax 003 (rsmax sub company) they are forged and come in silver and bronze weighing 15.2lbs for 17" it looks pretty much the same style as the ff15s

Well IMO, I wouldn't touch velox wheels either. I can tell you, I was considering buying a set of their progear series wheels, and they were total dicks to me on the phone when I talked to them.

First they say the series was a short run and it's stopped, then they start suggesting some ugly ass heavy wheels that weighed 20 pounds vs. the 11 pound wheel I was looking at. And to make matters worse, they started to get a bit pissy after I mentioned Rotas being 16 pounds and still cheaper than the crack wheels they wanted me to buy. I dunno, I just don't like to deal with shit companies like that.
