Yeah.. Thats pretty expensive for rims man. Go with some nice 5-spoke Mogeti/Exel/ect. I mean, they look pretty decent, but for that price... Thats kind of pushing it.

They are OK but not my Style...
2nd the price is ridiculous [sm=chairshot.gif]...
3rd get what you want because every has different tastes and you will never agree with everybody [sm=trust_me.gif]...
4th if you have that money go for it [sm=drooldude.gif]
5th get some rims you will keep for a while because you will never get back what you paid for so choose wisely

With the money you would save by getting a cheaper wheel that is still good quality and light, you could spendon other upgrades though.

ya that price is pretty high.....
i only paid like 180bucks for rim for my nice 17s on my black civic....

and DEFINATLY buy what you want because you WILL NEVER get that money back!
when i bought my 17s i planed to keep them as long as i have a civic! i paid just about 1500bucks for 5rims and 4tires. and if you buy NEW RIMS do yourself a HUGE FAVOR AT LEAST BUY 1 EXTRA RIM!!!!!!! because road hazards are everywhere! it only takes one pothole to destroy a rim and if you didnt buy a extra rim then youll have to go with a ugly stock wheel on that one side until the new rim comes in and thats ONLY IF THE manufacture still makes that rim model! because rim manufactures are always coming out with new styles and discontinuing some older models. and if you buy a older model... well youd have to go on a DEEP SEARCH for anew rim from some large warehouses which can be almost imposible!

so do yourself a huge favor and at least buy one extra rim!
that way you dont have to worry about a tire blow out, pothole, road debri problem to destroy your wheels because we have always seen that 1 guy that has 3nice wheels and one stocker.LOL you dont look cool at all that way!

Gram Lights are good rims BUT those really aren't very nice looking for almost $300 a rim. You'd have to show me something spectacular to get me to pay that much for any rims. Just what I think. You can find something better.
