    Well, my many many attempts to get 16" TRD rims failed and I couldn't find any other 16" rims that I 100% liked, so I got the Excel RH-5's instead. I would have gotten the Racing Hart C5's but they weigh more and no one has the gunmetal ones for 4X100 ever since the gloss black ones came out. Also, the Excel ones look better IMO.

    I would have taken more pics but I had about 7 dogs running all around me barking and getting in the way of the shot. Lol.

    I agree with corollarider, when i first got my rolla someone told me bout your site and I couldnt believe how much potential these cars had. Have you noticed a big difference in acceleration with the 17s ?? is it slower ?

    I haven't really noticed much difference with acceleration. It'll of course be a little slower since it's heavier.

    Nice rims!!!
    How *heavy can they be? 15-16lbs a piece? :p
    If you didn't say you changed the rims, I cannot really tell that you change it! I like how you like to stick with your own style. :)

    they're actually pretty heavy... 20lbs. The actual Racing Hart's that they are copied from are around 24lbs.
