not really a big fan on both wheels.


but.....

i would rock the fin7 ...and i hope your getting a set of coilovers. because if they are going to look like that and that big...you HAVE to be slammed.


rocking 17's i learned it only looks "right" when slammed.

it just doesn't look normal with any wheel gap, so i hope you going to slam your ride.

^ thanks. I will be pursuing an aggressive drop fa sho.

you've had 17s on your fit, what do you recommend as a minimum drop F/R?

I'm also not a fan of either wheels, but if i were to choose, i'd go with the Motegis.

I like the spoke design of the Fin7's better. On big rims i like the slimmer spoke style but thats just me. Your the one payin for them and living with them. haha. Good luck with your decision.

i just got the sp10's and i love the way they look on my VPB. 18x8 +40 offset. very clean compared to the buddy club white 17's i was rollin on. had to do extensive work to the rear fenders. alot of cutting. i still rub slightly on that stupid bracket that connects the rear bumper to the rear side panel. might remove it and just adhere the two together. and i am also dropped on mugen coils. the end result was definately worth the soreness over the past 2 days from tinkering around.

What are the weights of each? I slightly prefer the fin7's, but would go with whichever one is lighter. I seem to remember Motegi's being heavy as a general rule.

my motegi 18's are only 19lbs compared to several others that i saw on tire rack that were 21-23 and they had the nerve to say lightweight.

According to their site the litefin7 only comes in 16x7 in our bolt pattern. Also the 17 is a 17x7.5.

I'm liking the 16x7 Litefin's. Only 15.6 lbs and a +45 offset. I think the hyperblack is perfect for a SSM also...

the motegi in a 17 is 16.5 lbs, so both are relatively lightweight.

Did you notice my post above? I don't think the litefin is available in a 17 in our bolt pattern. That would make the decision easy.

I'd pick the speedy wheels, they look like the Advan RS model.
