I think you guys helped me pretty good with this decision. I'll be getting the SE14's, likely wrapped in General Altimax's at 235/55/17. I still need to do more tire research, but I have a set limit I'm trying to keep myself under. I had those same tires on my Bonneville and they did great and lasted nearly 7 years between the former owner and me, and gripped pretty darn good. What's your ETA to installation? I'm looking forward to pics!  | |

| Haha sorry to disappoint you Charlie but I probably won't install them until Late March. There's no point in this area (PIttsburgh, basically the same as you) to get them until I know the weather will behave a little bit. I have saved about 3/4 of what I need, so I'll be buying them in the next few weeks but won't mount them until later.
I'm anxious too, very excited. | |

| AA, these are the same wheels as yours, right? http://toledo.craigslist.org/pts/3531876426.html  What do you think of that price? | |

| They look alot like his, but I would have to say that one being damaged and repaired would hurt the price. I don't think they are worth that much IMO. I also don't know what these wheels go for new either. | |

| These are exactly the same as mine (size, color, offset). In 2010 I bought 4 in perfect condition for $500 with 50% rubber, so price seems fair if they are in good shape. Don't really need the 5th wheel, but they don't make them anymore, so...
Things to consider:
Those 40 profile tires are a bit small - it will throw off your speedo/odom unless you get a tune.
You'll need hub-centric rings. See hub/bore/lug thread for info on that. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| Sure you can. I really don't care! Personally, I think this wheel looks better with darker paint though. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| I am looking for a light weight, 5 or 7 spoke, silver rim. maybe a polished lip, maybe not.18" or 19" would be nice  Hardest part is finding a wheel that's not made in China. Goodness!  | |

| Those rims look just perfect on the Riv.
It's so nice to see someone buying new rims that are not black. Rivs were meant to be sporty & classy. (no offense intended to anyone) | |

I keep finding that their headquarters is in Anaheim, CA but cant find anything about where they are manufactured. Edit: According to this, made in Germany http://www.mambotheme.com/mitsubishi-avarus-wheels/
