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.

You just made my choice harder, I like the gunmetal too. I just noticed their weight, heavy bastards

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:

Gunmetal it is. Should look good with the baer kit behind it too, that's the whole reason for the upgrade. It'll be a few months before it happens, as i'm in Japan right now and have to wait for leave. but it's gonna happen :D

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

i'd look for something that is chrome, it will look better.
