Stock wheels are nice

Alright, well since this thread got brought back I guess I'll pop in another option.

Since Silverstones are hard to come by and are expensive when you do, I found a post awhile back talking about MB Mesh X wheels (BBS ACR Replicas). They look pretty nice and are $90 each for 16".

What do you think of these? Oh, and don't pay attention to the R/T side skirt. I was bored and testing.

I vote Silverstones or MB Mesh X. It would probably come down to price and convenience to decide between the two for me, since they look similar.

Those MBs are starting to look pretty good

hahaha yes they are. I think I'll be going for those not just because they are cheap and easy to get but they also look pretty dang good too.

What offset and width do these have?

the silver-stones are nice, but these are very nice also. they could also be a bit wider which could give you a better selection of tires..

It says they are 38 offset with a 7" width. I don't remember off the top of my head what offset the Silverstones are so I can't compare at the moment but I know they are 6".

I think they are 40 offset (for the silverstones), but i might be wrong

More like "What's the point of 17" snowflakes? SRT wheels FTL".

SRT wheels are knockoffs of the wheels that were on the 02 srt prototype. The Snowflakes came first anyway (2000).
