If building a car was artwork, IMO this is a masterpiece...

BTW I wouldn't buy TE37s in 17"s if I got them though. Wrong size for drag racing.

I think I might actually get these.

8.4lbs each. mmmmm:bang:

Nice...and I thought 17's were the perfect combo between looks and traction, depending on how light it was?

For comparison, my 18"x9" Steeda UltraLites weighed 21-1/2lbs. with 285/35/18 Nitto 555's.

15" Is the best combo for traction. 16" for traction/looks. 17" takes up too much of the wheel well so you would need less of a sidewall hight which hurts traction.

Man that 240 dosent look THAT great.. Hell JOHN's 240 looks 10x better than that esp as far as wheel choice goes.. I dunno that 240 is a poor example of "good wheel choice" I say its a SUNKEN BATTLESHIP with those flush FWD rims on it.. no lip at all.

Seriously?

on the Mk3's ride height/16" combo, it looks bleh...15"s may look akward...but I may..have to concider it...it's lighter, cheaper....

Look at all the fast cars and they all run a 15" rim. Fast as in like 5-6 second 1/4mile times.
