23lbs for an 18 isn't too bad but it's still heavy.

I was thinking bauot ordering them before I heard there weight.

ehh im not too concerend on weight and i dont got alot of money now. my parents are actually fronting me money so i can afford the tires. i think they'll be good. now i just gotta make my mind up. grey or silver. im pretty sure im gonna stick with silver. heres grey btw.

I have no complaints with mine. I actually bought the wishbone's. Wasn't concerned with weight either. I'm not sure if it's the same with ALL of Nippon's rims or what, but mine had to be reversed mounted and it was a pain in the ass to get them mounted. Had to go to 4 different places till I finally got them mounted.

Yeah,a friend has the wishbones(silver) also on a GS teh same color as yours PsSsShTGSX.It looks really good.I like the Version V,DTX..I'm not concerned about weight that must either.

i ordered the rims. he has to call nippon tomorrow. i dont understand. i thought these places where warehouses? they have to order them from the company. thats ###.

my 17's weigh 27.5. THAT is heavy. I am hoping to upgrade to 19's that weigh about 22 or so. My rims have to be reverse mounted too. Sucks having all this weight and hassles. I can't just go to any tire place.

The grey looks kewl with green. Bronze woulda been badass. Didn't you post a photoshop with bronze?

 

[PsSsShTGSX]

i went with the silver. nah no ps with bronze. i psed bronze subzeros and battles though. this is my third choice rim. no one else had rotas in our bolt pattern. damn wrx f*cks.

My friend and I didn't have too much prob with them. Their phone lines or their phone sucked though. Couldn't hear the guy. As for shipping, it was being shipped from the west ot the east, took about a week for me to get my wheels. Which is about right. The only thing I wished they would've done was suggest for me to buy the tuner lugs, so I could've done everything at once.

I ordered my shocks from them and had no problems.

well they contacted me this morning after i sent them a reminder, and guess what? out of stock. fantastic. they offered me a set of adr's which are 10 bucks more a rim. they were ugly. im going to call them today and ask what other adr rims they have instock. they are all the same price. i may buy from them then. if not i think ill just end up going with the enkei's i wanted but in silver. unless anyone else out there has a set of 18's to offer me. ive wasted about 3 weeks now on rims.
