Yea I wanted sbcs but they stopped making those in these sizes. The wheels alone are 15 lbs or so. Tires are around 19. Yeah ill probably powder coat later.

Looks nice! Can you tell a handling difference between the stock wheels/tires and the new ones?

Very nice! I'm planning a Progress RSB and 17x7 wheels, but don't think I want to lower from stock. I'm hoping that combination will satisfy me on the handling side of things.

Looks good. Those will eventually be my rim of choice as well but in 16s probably.

I think the 15s are 9 lbs, the 16s are 12 lbs, and the 17s are 15 lbs.

How's the ride comfort on the swifts? In terms of absorbing bumps that is.

Hey Simsimma,
Any chance you could take some angled and maybe front and rear view pics? The rims I've been looking at are the same size and pretty much the same offset as yours and I'm just wondering how "flush" they will look.

Will do as soon as have some time. Front is pretty good the rears need some spacers but its not that bad.

Maybe a silly question but, with the SWIFT springs how much less people and/or gear are you able to haul before you bottom out?
