One of the SoCal members has them in 17" on his car. I can't remember who it was though. I assume from the weight that you're looking at 18". I considered them myself and I think they'll look good on the 6.

They are nice, simple five-spokes, always liked them:



Would be nicer if they were hella-lighter.

that's just what I was going for. Nothing too flashy or "bling"y, just something that makes it just a lil' different. I'm going to start saving up for them soon.

Sadly, that's the 17" weight. But I'm not going for performance, just show.

Yup, that would be me :cool While I certainly like atom44wat's car, here are a couple pics of the genuine article! ;)



closeup


I did weigh my wheels, and unfortunately they clocked in right around 25 lbs for a 17" wheel. I did pick light tires, so my weight increase per corner was held to about 2 lbs, not a big enough difference to notice. Obviously, if you are trying to increase performance via decreased unsprung weight, the Moda's would not be the best choice... they do look sweet though!

Edited for atrocious spelling.
