terrible idea lol. its way to weak. if you were to get 7.5s you would need like a -15mm or so. just stick with the gramlights. 17x9 i dont know what offsets the y come in but cant you chose your own for custom? if so get a +0

I'd stay away from the Motegi's, might as well get Sportmax 9heavyass62's. I'd def get the Gram Lights instead...

-15 on a 7.5? thats retarded some people like to have tires. you would have to run 165 tires on a setup like that which is retarded. skinny wheels need more meat and meaty tires do look good on s-chassis

well if that is what you like i guess you are entitled to your own opinion. personally i like to look at wheels as a performance upgrade rather than just a fashion statement.

they do perform. they are stiffer so there isnt any sidewall roll, cheaper and look awesome to me and alot of other ppl. They just dont perform well in drag racing. Which i care absolutley nothing about, so meaty tires just dont appeal to me.
