My brother has the SSR's on is bimmer in 17" gunmetal. They look crazy, and they're something like 15lbs!! In 17s!! Just think what they would be in 16s or even 15s.

If you want something larger than 15" the heliums are out as well as (I think) the greenlights.

IMHO, I would go for the 15" heliums. They look nice, are way light and are relatively inexpensive, but if you want bigger go SSR the looks and quality are great. Plus a lot of people are gonna have the heliums and not too many people (In NY tri-state anyway) have the competitions.

yeah i know the comps. are insanely light weight, but i'm just not quite sure what the heliums would look like on my car, thats whats stopping me from buying them right now.. i want something light but i also want something that looks clean.. yes yes i'm picky! hehe give me more ideas!! or if you have heliums on your car post a picture!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have heliums so no pics sorry man. I want them bad...but no dough, no wheels. I have GSR wheels (BBS type, not the twisties)on my whip in the meantime.

my car is currently red, but i am waiting until summer when i get it painted gunmetal grey before i put any of my parts on.. ie: wheels, suspension, etc.. i want to do it all at once =)

i'm thinking that bronze would look good on gunmetal but i'm not sure.. keep the opinions coming!
