Question fittipaldi rims... are they any good???

I just ordered fittipaldi rims with tires from tires.com
Does any body have any experience with these rims. I got 245-45-17. I hope they make good rims!

I had a set for my 93 Prelude when I first got the car in 93. They are name brand European wheels but I still prefer JDM. Do you mind I ask how much did you pay? You can PM me if you don't wish to release that info on the forum.

Fittipaldis were the craze in the late 80s and early 90s. I assume they still make quality wheels. Never heard anything bad about their wheels at all. Good choice.

Ricer??? Not at all.... if you see the picture you will know. Don't have crazy stuff just the following:

17" SSR GPO,
DC header
DAC intake by DC
DC chrome strut bars front and rear
959 PIAA Ion
Sebring Exhaust System (Dual pipe square type - not loud at all)
Aeroware body kit (front air dam, side skirts and rear valence)
Stillen cross drilled brake front and rear
plus other minor stuff...

The car was awesome until it got stolen off USC campus (twice in a year, the last time totaled the car) and then I became a proud owner of 97 SC 300.

wait till you see them in person. I had teh 18x8.5s on my car for a while. Only complaint is they were a tad heavy. They are gorgeous, strong, and easy to keep clean. Lets see them pics!
