New wheels really do make a difference!

Just got these ATS Comp. Lite 17x7.5 wheels yesterday for my 2002 MCS (replaced S-lites that came with car). WOW! What a difference! Feels like I bought a new car. Now I'm faster, nimbler, edgier and smilier. They weren't too expensive either. Only about $600.00 installed! Only weigh 16 lbs. each. Combined with my new Falken tires (19 lbs. each), I'm saving 15 lbs. a corner from stock. 60 lbs. of turning weight reductiuon has me falling in love again!

Here are a few pics of my car with the new wheels... what you think?

These wheels in 15x7 are ET35 and weigh about 12lb.

Do you know the offset and weight of yours?

Please submit your favorite picture for showcasing in the Aftermarket Wheel Gallery

I put my S-Lites back on last weekend, after a winter on 15" 7-holes, couldn't believe how much heavier they are..... now what is that bank account balance....

Looks good BTW...

I like those wheels alot too. I almost got them in black, but decided to go with the TDR Pro Race 1's instead. I really like the weight of those wheels. Nice
