I'm lookin at the motegi MR7's and can't decide if I want white or polished, What do you guys think. I have a white GLS 2dr

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.

Jetfix 05-12-2004 04:21 PM

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

jonez 05-12-2004 04:24 PM

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.

ptrudel 05-12-2004 04:44 PM

gunmetal on white looks awesome IMO

Sundayalero 05-12-2004 04:48 PM

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

Jetfix 05-12-2004 05:15 PM

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

Sundayalero 05-12-2004 05:21 PM

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.

Jetfix 05-12-2004 05:25 PM

Sorry I meant the alero stocks

Baracuda96 05-12-2004 05:35 PM

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

Sundayalero 05-12-2004 05:35 PM

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:

Jetfix 05-12-2004 05:42 PM

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

Sundayalero 05-12-2004 06:14 PM

Nice! Cant wait to see the Pics!

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

johny_boy32 05-13-2004 09:31 AM

my $.02....get polished

Travis99Alero 05-13-2004 10:22 AM

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