Not bad, I'm a big fan of the '5-star' style one though. Like the stockers but a little thinner spokes maybe...

I'll be picking up my '5-star' style spokes soon (hopefully) . They were the only 5 x 110 (w. the offset for our brake calipers) that my local customizer had available without special order.

They're only 17" (still seems big to me) as my Saturn dealer threw in a set of winter tires which were promptly installed when I bought the vehicle a month ago (good thing, too, since I live in the "Great White North"). Also, I was concerned that using a larger wheel than what the car was validated for could cause risk to the suspension (ok, the primary reason is that I'm cheap... ).

Here's a picture of the rims I purchased on Thursday for the summer tires. They are American Eagle MSR Series 190 and should fit into the stock tires. Let me know what you think. The price I paid (including our 15% tax, installation and caliper painting) was $644 (Canadian, about $458.39 USD before taxes).

The rims arrived yesterday, but I wasn't able to get away from the office in time; therefore, I plan to have them installed on Monday. It will be fun to see if I can tell a difference in performance with the summer Dunlops. I'll try to get out a picture so that you can see what they look like when installed. Any suggestions for caliper colour? I toyed around with the idea of blue or gold, but think that I'll stick with the standard red.

They look good but how heavy are they?

According to the web site (http://www.aewheel.com/msr/wheels_detail.cfm?id=228), the shipping weight is 21 lbs. (same thing as unsprung weight?). Is that heavy? I've a complete novice at vehicle modification and have never made any changes to any vehicles before. The Red Line seems to have possessed to me...

I like tiny 5-spoke's too. The kind that whenever you're moving it just looks like you're riding on black circles with rotors in the middle.

Wow, that's cheap! Not too sure where you are but will they ship to Calgary?
