Default Bought some new wheels for my car. Opinions?

They are SSR Competitions. 17x8 and weigh only 14 lbs per wheel. So how do they look?

I would've gone a little bigger, but they look pretty good.

I thought they looked small in the pics he sent me from the guy he got them from. But in person they look 100% better. I dont know why the rims look small in pictures?

Either way, much better than the stockers... And lighter to....

Fix that clutch....

tomorrow night my clutch and flywheel are going in.

i think the dark color of the wheel and the machined lip makes it look small. I didn't want to go any bigger really. these are more for go especially since they are lighter than my stock 15" tire/wheel combo.
