...that badly needs a new set of wheels...
What do you mean by that. For performance those are the best I could afford to.Quote:

I really need a more powerfull car...
Yeah they look pretty light... Much better than a set of "better looking" heavy weighters that's gonna slow that little car down. Any bit of weight off that bugger will make a nice improvement in get-up.Quote:

I just think black wheels need a polished lip to look good. They just look cheap, like plastic that you could break by kicking them...my opinion, of course.
wheels look great! go excellent with the car ;)Quote:

Right now I have an '04 Cadillac CTS-V. 400HP, 6-speed, 3.73 IRS, 0-60MPH ~4.8, top speed is limited to 165MPH. I have a few mods, Cold air intake, crossdrilled 14"/14.4" rotors, UUC Shifter, CAGS eliminator and a few cosmetic items. It's my daily driver
I also have two Mustangs. One is an '86 totally stripped and setup for pure drag. It weighs 2400lbs and went 12.014 with a POS ~280HP engine. It's on the back burner right now but will eventually run low, low 10's(don't want to go faster due to the $$ certifications and car requirements).
The other stang is a '90 25th anniversary GT with about 450-500 naturally aspirated HP and is setup for road race. It's still street legal and I drive it during the nice weathered weekends. I have plans of adding 8~10psi with a Procharger
D1SC/3row intercooler which should give me ~630 HP.
i have a 2003 honda civic that is falling apart much sooner than i had originally expected
To me "better looking" wheels for now on means smaller weight digit at scale :p: And I know how it helps to drop weight 3kg/wheel :)... cornering, acceleration, braking has improved a bit (yet S got ~200hp& ~250NM torque)Quote:

So if you want to lighten the car you just have to remove the clock and then 10pounds less :DQuote:

I guess its different, but I think this is a good looking set of black wheels. This is NineBall's car, site owner of LS1Tech:

Yep 274 my friends brother picked up a red one about a month ago, those things are quick. Plus they look clean and dont have those ridiculus wings and scopes and cheasy body kits.
SCOOP those rims are awesome! I always liked the yellow/black combo. What's the manufacturer?
Those rims are OZ's Superleggeras :) (custom paintjob 7"/18")Quote:

here's mine...
I'm looking forward to 22's, new tailpipes, a front spoiler, rear valance and some front window tint. Just have to work on my paper stack :D
The next car I get will be a MazdaSpeed 6. Hopefully I can afford one in the next 5 years.
It's 274hp standard, the european mazda 6 mps is 260hp standard if I remember correctlyQuote:
