Check out the Lenso wheels from Tempe.

They have quite a few good looking rims that are light, and now that Tempe are importing them, they are also quite cheap.

I put these ones on my SP.

Ok I'm thinking of getting these rims

It comes in White, Gun Metal, Black
I'm taking black out of the question because it looks cheap spray can job

i think green with white wheels would look good. white rims can get dirty fast though, depends on the brakes n stuff like that im not really sure, i wouldnt know mine arent actually white even tho they look it in the pic

but when clean, the white should look gd against the green IMO

Hey does anyone know if those rims being +42 offset will hang out of the guard? I think stock rims are +40 but just making sure so its all legal the rim is 0.5\" wider

+42's might hang out the guard if they were about 9.5 inches wide, but they'd have fouled on the strut long before that :lol:
