...well, qre you thinking about weight? Is this an issue? If you like these wheels then I would suggest looking at the Konig Imagine . I think it might be what I'm getting depending on the weight witch I don't know yet.

the b/w picture are chromed Tecnomagensio Detroit F1s. I was going to go with these wheels in 18" until I found out how much better the performance is with 15s and shorter tires. Still, they're great looking wheels, especially with a matte dark silver metallic finish.

If you ever went with bigger brakes you would see a slight loss hp due to the rotation mass and how far away from the center it is..wait, that's the same concept as to why the 15's offer better performance.:smile: Or is it? :smile:

Erebuni Corp is a USA distributor of Toora wheels. They only show 3 different ones on the site, but maybe they can get 'em...wouldnt hurt to ask.
