looks like about +4 as the spokes are aggressive and bring the hub further away from the front of the outside of the rim ... should look hot!! weight?

Yum.
Are they Watanabes or Panasport? (can't quite see how wide the hub is)

Those in a 16X7 +0 or -15 offset powder coated white would look sweet! I'm not a fan of the 8 inch width, mainly due to clearance issues with steering lock on my car.

Nice wheels tho!!!
Post up some pics with them on your car!!!

They look great.
I have heard the Performance Superlights don't really live up to their name, that they are in fact quite heavy. A mate had a set in 14x6 about 10 years ago and they where certainly weighty but the design may have changed a bit since then.

Nice set of wheels Lou. Mick from Hume mentioned you had a set of new mags a little like mine. They will fill the arches nicely. Any on-car pics yet???

I reckon they look pretty good too...they about 8 kg. so not light but they were what I was looking for so not so worried about that....this car is going to be a bit different...you will see what I mean when I show it off.

Won't have photos of them on the car for a while,the green machine is on the boat coming from Japan and we are off to USA for a month.

Its really cool that they have it in many diferent sizes and offset now.
FYI 15\" is 8.6 KG and 16\" 9.3 KG...if you go wider it will be a lil' bit heavier.
