what tire size? specs?
Reason i ask is that they look 'balloon-y'
I have 17's [x8] with 225/45R17 and they still retain the low pro look... I assume these are '50' series sidewall?
Otherwise nice rims.

Light weight rims are one of the best things you can do for you car. Look up Moment of Inertia (fiziks), and note that for every 1 pound you take off your rims that equals to taking
3 pounds off the body. A pretty noticeable gain in my honest opinion, so kudos to you Kald!
Also, they don't look half bad

Nice rims man, not really my cup of tea but hey we cant all like the same thing, but 1 pound off the rim = 3 pounds off the car thats pretty good.
