I think the MR7s look good in gunmetal... but our of your choices I say go with polished. IMO, white looks good on non white cars.

Between white and polished. I would go with polished. Personlly I would go with a chrome rim. Just think they look the best on most cars.

Get the gunmetal bro! :thumbsup: How much heavier could they be? I don't think you will notice the difference.

24 lbs seems a little hefty, what do the stock aluminums weigh?

I'm not sure, but i've noticed that on Motegi's website, all the 17" MR7s weigh the same. I don't think it matters what finish they have.

I'd definitely go with either Gunmetal or polished. I think that too much white on a white car wouldn't look as nice.

Good question. Not sure on that one, but 24lbs for a non racing 17" wheel is not that heavy. You could go with some lighter Volks or something like that, but be ready to spend about $600 per wheel.....
Get the gunmetals bro! Then take a lot of pics so we can see :thumbsup:

I agree, white rims on white cars look gay, go with gunmetal or silver, not big on chrome unless it is luxury or an SUV
