imo they are ugly rims to begin with, and seeing as how you have a blue car, the red will not match.

I'm not a big fan of them... but I don't like the "riveted" look around the outside. And those is some big rivet looking things!

But it doesn't matter what we think. It's not our money. If you like them and think they'll look good - don't let us stop you.

I guess when in doubt, especially on rims its best to not go through with it...I really like the upgraded 18's that scion offers but cheapest I found them for are $1000.

i think the hot swaps would be sick if you had the black wheels with the inserts color matched to your RS2 blue... if i wasnt satisfied with my wheels i would probably have the black hotswaps with color matched absolute red inserts

According to DTD (via e-mail), the 17x8s tip in at a stunning 28lbs. Frightening.

id most likely would ge the wheels if i had super charger or a turbo, just do be able to back up the weight of the rims.
