Well I bought a set of 16" finally. They need some more cleaning and stuff or I might just paint them black. Who knows? They are pretty light, polished alum. The center cap screws broke off so I had to drill and tap them. A the front rub a little at full lock turning right. Iy are the stupid hammer on wieghts that are hitting.

They are a touch bigger OD than my old rims... so I lost a 1/10 of a second in the quater. but the kumho 712s are a lot sticker than my eagle gt +4. They are not the best but for $66 each 225/50/16 I can't complain.

THey are dinged up a little. good 5 foot rims (can't see the problems from 5 feet.) I did spend 2 hours on each rim to get them to look like that. Also it is not a style of rim that I have see around much. This winter I will probably take them off the car, get the tires dismounted, and really clean and polish them. I have to file a touch of curb rash off of two of them. I will not be at the 20th, I have the class from hell right now. 1 absence = lose of 1 letter grade.
