I don't like the style of them, mainly because the spokes have that rounded look and at the end of the spokes that peice
on em looks weird. But if you like it....

well at first, JDM doesnt mean it has a lot of curbside damage, those rim edges look terrible...

but does it matter if these make it a JDM style, if YOU like them put them on the car, don't rely sow much on what others think

Solo, you dont ? well, to me , JDM style is more about the work and less about the looks , these rims are 17" and weight about 21.5 lbs .. i guess they will work ...

I, for one, like them. Paint the rim and the three holes on each spoke a dark gunmetal/black, and the spokes a silver, but not chrome.

We're not trying to be mean, rude or anything. So don't take it that way bro.
Just simply stating our own tastes. If you already have them and you like them, throw em on. You could always paint em bronze or black to maybe make them look alittle better though.

JDM is the acronym for japanese domestic market. Sure the USDM aftermarket has begun to use this as a marketing term, but it doesn't stop me from looking past it. It's not about the work. It doesn't even have to be about looks. It's what is available in Japan.

Aside from that, do what you like. Make it your own. Why do people try so hard to fit into appearance segments?

i think there cool, better than my stock 92 gs rims, i would rock em if they hold as good or better of a tire... and i really like that idear of painting the rim dark and polish the spoke, no crome but a silver yes

I agree with solo ryder... that rim says american 5 spoke to me... :shrug:

21.5 pounds is not that light for a 17" rim... if you were going for performance you should probably be looking at a much lighter weight rim IMO

not trying to be negative, just stating my opinion... 8)
