I like those wheels. They look very race car. Who makes them and how much do they weigh.

spoon has a wheel of the same design, so a lot of hondas run them as well. thats why they have the "honda look" to them

Hey scoobysnackz could you tell a difference in the weight of the wheels? acceleration etc. Also curious to what size tire you are running, 205-55-16 or 225-50-16. I,m interested in getting a set for my 03 wrx. I like the look tossing the idea of 16's or 17's.

Thanks

They only come as big as 16s, and they are light as hell. I love them on myf reinds corrado, but they just look a little small on wrx's.

actually I believe that Desmond made them for Spoon kinda like stromung makes the cobb exhaust for them. They may be Honda like but I like them on the WRX as well. I may even get them now. They have a rally like look to them. Clean and simple. Do they come in bronze or gold?
