Well you guys have been very helpful with all my noob questions :) i have another for you..

I have been keeping my eye on RS25 NASIOC for a good deal on wheels and I think I have found it
A set of 4 17x7 Motegi DP6 in Hyperblack with lugs for $425 us shipped so thats $490 cdn Used in good shape used for only 2 summers so he says.

Is that a good deal or could i find something better here?


Cheers :)

Doesnt sound like too bad of a deal, do they come with rubber? Motegi's are generally pretty cheap rims and go for about that price, usually with rubber. Try to find the price of the dp6's here and compare the price from brand new.

Don't waste your time on Motegi wheels. I personally think they're shit. Get Rota if you're on a budget.

well you can get new prodrive p7's for 900 CDN shipped to your door. i know its above your limit, but i think rota's cost just as much. check on nasioc.com canada classified too, someone is selling their rotas for 500-600 bucks i think.

These are available in 17x7 ET48 for $157.00 each brand new... Nice rim, decent quality and a good deal as we took advantage of a manufacturers special. Not an ultra light weight wheel or anything, but not heavy either at 19lbs...
