Hey guys, Im looking at a set of rims, 18" Motegi ff7 in gloss black. I know Bubba is running these in hyper black but I wanted to get some opinions on what people think of the gloss black.

I also did a quick photoshop of it, not very well but just to get an idea.

I dont think i can create a poll now, I should have done it when I made the thread.
The rims would be gloss black like the link. Im buying them off a guy, they have only 3 or 4 months on the rims and tires and its a good price.

They look good! Much better than the original ff7 (which didn't have the lip) which EVERYONE had for a while (many other brands made something similar as well).

looks great!
How much u getting them for? That would help us provide more input on if they are really worth it or not, and there is something better for the price

What type of tires does he have on them cuz $600 isn't a bad deal :) Must be like runway tires or something or completely bald ones (usually happens when they are priced that cheap)

Well the tires on there have only been used for a few months and Im told that they are in good shape. They came off a Malibu so how hard can you really drive in a Mailibu rite. They are Triangle something or other, Im assuming the performance ones but Ill know for sure when I see them.

Should I be worried about them being warped, I dont think you can tell if they are unless the tires are unmounted rite.

That sounds like a good deal! Were they on craigslist?

Hate the centre cap

Are they a true 2 or 3 piece wheel?

How wide are you going? Please go 8" wide you will thank me later

Triangle tires really arent great.. at all. However, if your getting the package for $600, why not? Try them out. Usually they are loud, and don;t wear so evenly. But if you can put up with them $600 is a great deal.

I wanted these in black originally, I'm a fan of the rim, but I dunno about the combo on the car.

Thanks for the input everyone but I cant convince myself that I like anything more then the rx8 wheels and I'd hate to buy something only to regret it later, so I'm gonna wait it out until I find a set at a decent price.
