Not the best looking design (Reminds me of the F&F days) but for $100 i say go for it.

They are defiantly from that era. I want 17s on the wagon for sure. Not trying to go fast. Just going for looks. Mounted and balanced I would be looking a about 450 with new tire. Just not sure Im in love with wheel design. I'm on the fence. 100 isn't bad though

there 100 buks bro grab em i have focal f05 17x7.5 i always loved focal wheels,on my 99 civic si i had spoon wheels then it was stolen got a cb and been with focal ever since people always say them wheels suck but they look good and quality seems great so i dunnno why they would suck

what color is your wagon? painting/powdercoating them and getting a nice fresh surface on them may be a good idea. possibly white or black depending on your car color?

I own Motegi's too, a c note for a whole set is very fair- that is about what I paid for mine.
I like having a set of "not baller" wheels- because I don't have to feel like I am doing something wrong if I paint/refinish them often. (I wouldn't be marring an investment) I am refinishing my motegi's as we speak.

Thanks for input guys. My first civic had a set of motegi 17s and i never had a problem with them other then me finding curbs. haha

My wagon is charcoal gray. Im budget building this car as a dd. I scored some good part yesterday at a yard and ran across these 17s without tires.

Plans for wagon is to respray it charcoal and repaint wheels bright silver again


Thanks for opinions

It does, but we don't need noobs whoring to 30 posts by saying "nice wheels bro!"
If it's not a technical question, or providing technical information, it doesn't belong in the "counted" sections. If you're only asking opinion, it belongs here or in OT.
Once you're in the rest of the forum, the rules aren't as strict.



Anyway, for $100, hell yes! They're pretty nice looking wheels. Motegi isn't the greatest, but they aren't a shameful brand, either. If the rest of them look as good as the one pictured, that's a hell of a deal. If you don't want them, you can probably sell them for a quick $50-$100 profit.

i'm not a motegi fan but i do like these wheels. they are early 2000's but i would still rock them lol

[ProSouth]

i think if your going to tear them down, and put new tires on it... those wheels would look pretty good black with that gray wagon. wish i could photoshop.

[deevergote]

I wouldn't go black unless you get a high-gloss professional job (or you're capable of doing that yourself.) A spraypaint job will make them look like big steelies from 50' away.

thats why i generally go with powdercoat, the guy that does it for me does an exceptional job. high gloss black powdercoat shines like a factory black paint job, semi gloss and flat also looks good on certain applications. still cool rims to the OP bigger wheels (17's are bigger to me) look cool on wagons.
