No. I wouldn't put those heavy-ass wheels on my car if you paid me. For $900 you could get a nice set of brand new ROTA lightweight wheels. |

Weight is vital brother.
Here are just some of the benefits of lightweight wheels: - less stress on suspension and steering components - quicker suspension response, better handling - better deceleration (braking) - better acceleration - nicer ride quality - improved steering feel Going to a heavy wheel will create the opposite effect of everything I've listed. Do the right thing. |
