Default New wheels teaser

Real pics up this weekend, I bought these 17's from a buddy with a mk2 turbo mr2. They are staggered, the rears are an inch wider but it still looks great. Now I just need to lower it lol....but here's what the wheels look like:

5zigens? They look like my old ones (5zigen GN Pro Racers). I'm probably wrong though, in for pics.

I'll have to ask the guy I bought em from what brand they are, I'm no expert on wheels. I just knew that bronze would be badass with the color of the car. (blackberry crush metallic)

Yup, those are A-Tech FinalSpeed Erasers that are branded as MB Weapons exclusively for DiscountTireDirect in the U.S. (I've got 'em too, but in gunmetal.)

They're some sexy wheels. Yours probably looks better because of offsets...my rears are an inch wider which looks CLEAN but the front looks too small...new cars have too big of wheel wells lol.

Here are the complete specs & pictures for my very unconventional set-up:

Are yours 17x7 +43 and 17x8 +42?
What size tires?

I've been waiting to see a set of these in bronze on BCM, should look really good.

The bronze Weapons compliment the BCM very nicely. Might I suggest replacing the chrome lug nuts with some black spline tuner lugs; they would compliment the black window trim a lot better (see mine to get an idea), and they only cost me $45 for the whole new set from Discount Tire. It also looks like you didn't get any center caps. What size tires are those?

Oh, and time to drop that bad boy!

Looking great, almost there.

I was surprised that the original lugs fit those rims, I'll look into some black lugs though. Yeah I still have to get the center caps from the guy. I'm not sure on the size of the tires...I just know that the rear is an inch wider. They would probably look better with a taller tire maybe?
