Hey guys, i'm sure it's been asked time and time again, but no matter how hard i search, i can't find the weight of these rims. I'm trying to stick to the stock weight as much as i can, preferibly under, but i don't mind if it's a little over...

I figured my tires are just about bald, so i might as well go and get new rims and tires... I was looking at the


Kobe Viz 5 (http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cfm?action=dspWheel&MODEL=VIZ%2D5&color=BLACK)

Exel GT-S (http://www.wheelmax.com/wheelcolors.asp?CtgId=9807&color=Black)


I've found those two that i'm interested in so far, but it's mainly a 5 spoke design that would look somewhat like the stock GT-S rims. I'm also looking for it to be in gloss black with a polished lip.

My celi is Carbon Blue, so i'm hoping they will look nice :)

what do you guys think?
if you know of any other rims that fit the same catagory, feel free to suggest :-D

i'm also planing on turboing my car sometime in the future, should I stick with a 17x7 or should I get something bigger? I have the TRD springs installed now, so i think that gives my car a 1" drop already.

Thanks

i think the GTS rims are about 19-20 pounds

i have a cb celi with black/polish lip on it. I personally would prefer gunmetal rather than the black (i owned both). The black against the cb looks a bit off tone. You can check pictures, i posted mine in the readers rides (search threads started by me). The gunmetal matches a bit more if you have a cf accents (hood/wing/lip).

17x7 is fine, but most people like a lighter rim (14-17lbs for 17in), there is a def improvement on accel, i think the exels would be lighter but they are more of a "cheap" brand, but bascially if you want the best get forged rims, both the rims you picked are cast. Check out the thread below 14lb 17in rims GB interest, those look pretty sweet imo. good luck
