Default Forged RPM's on my xA ((56k warning))

Just got my Forged Centerline RPM's mounted up today with Nitto Neogens

17X7 with 215 40 17's

(Dropped with Tanabe DF210's)

Here are a couple of quick snap-shots:

Rims:


Tires:


New TIRE/WHEEL combo weight:


Factory TIRE/WHEEL/HUBCAP combo weight:


Pretty unbelievible that they weigh EXACTLY the same amount!! The wheel and tire overall diameter is the same as well I think its was figured out by someone to be .13" larger in size with the new setup.

I went ahead and bought some lightweight lugnuts, black anodized to use with the new rims. Turned out pretty nice they match the centercap.



Some rear onetongarage.com spacers might be in my near future:


Sorry a bit blurry... Will get some better shots... It was dark out...

Thanks guys

I actually bought the rims off of Ebay from discounttiredirect.com they have an Ebay acount were you can score some nice deals.

The rims cost me $450 shipped for the set!! I got very lucky considering they sell for about $300 EACH normaly. They only weigh 13.5 pounds each for a 17X7.

Here are a couple of places that sell them:

http://outmotoring.com/centerline_rpm.html

I will see if I can get some better pics up soon. Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry almost forgot. I bought the lenses from http://www.infinitemotorsport.com/ and had quite a horrible experience with them. Quite an unprofessional company to say the least took almost a month to get the darn lenses after ordering them and many many phone calls and Emails.

Order from them at your own risk!

Chipper, those rims look awesome on your xA.

Now you need some wheel spacers for the rear.

I was going to say, not my cup of tea, but once I saw a picture of them on your car, they look good.
