I bought these rims, offset unknown, brand unknown. They were advertised as 17x7, 4x100. Couldn't believe the dirt on them. It took some polishing to get them looking good but I'm happy with them. Offset seems fine(whatever it is) got lucky, I guess. No rubbing with nf210's and they seem light enough. Remind me a little of TRD's. Tires are 205/40/17's

Very nice find. Looks like ET40. Center caps would help... if you can find some to fit.

I still have them, they were just too heavy and with the drop I had they rubbed on every bump and were annoying me.

well, champiro may be cheap, but they r running damn well. but sometimes i feel a little vibration in my car when i go above 140. i dont know why, but it's coming from the back of my car. i havent had my car re-alligned or cambered. Do i need that after a new installation?

Did you install hubcentric rings with those aftermarket wheels? Check wheel balance.

"hubcentric rings", r they really intended to do what they do? i mean i never found any difference with or without the rings. i guess i need to check my wheels for balancing. is there any allignment issue that i should also consider ?
