Hate buying stuff I don't really want

davesz4mc · 04-10-2012, 09:28 AM

I pulled the trigger to get my DD z4mc back on the road

With alot of stuff going on family wise and being busy I just needed it back on the road as fast as possible and cheap.

I just got a set of Falken RT-7M wheels from discount tire $800 for all four. Will run my stock tires for now then go up when I need them replaced.

The rims I got are 18x8-35 and 18x9-25 (both 5x120 of course) so fitment should not be an issue.

What do you all think of these???

I think they look good. How much do they weigh? I love my Apex ARC-8's. If you want a lightweight wheel with an OEM look, check out the Sportline CS.16 CSL reps for ~$950 for a 8.5F/9.5R setup (19-20 lbs/wheel and flow-formed). I like the look of the wheels you posted, however.

Think the 18x9 is 25 pounds so closer to stock than I wanted (te37 in mag blue)

Just noticed something else about these wheels I will have to see in person. Each spoke/fork has a machined lip/edge around it. No idea how it looks till I see in person. Unless someone wants to donate to get me the wheels I want =-)
