http://www.jaydm.com/subzero.htm has pics. 17" = 17lbs each i think. I like the black w/ machined lip. I wanted the brnze w/ machined lip but can't seem to find them in the right bolt pattern.

Kinda like this?


Mine aren't Subzeros, BTW (RE EVO CP-35s, which are discontinued), but you get the idea, and mine are in 17s (weighs 16 lbs/wheel).

Hey sorry for the confusion, didn't mean to do that. What I meant was, I wasn't looking for wheels that are more chrome than not, if you know what I mean. Like some of the wheels you see people putting on Mercedes sometimes, and I was trying to say that I don't want anything like that.
But I've seen some very tasteful looking wheels (like the ones Jacques posted above) that are made of chrome. I don't mind THOSE, but I know chrome is VERY heavy, so I thought that maybe that might not be the way to go. I was only trying to give you as best a sense for what kind of wheels I was lookin for. Sorry if I confused you at all, hope this clears it up.

Default aftermarket wheels

I have a dk green 2000 and spent many hours looking in mags for wheels. I found a set in an article in one and tried to order them. After a month I found out the weren't available i.e. -false advertising- I checked with the company that made the wheel, they didn't speak english at all. I ended up with Speedy Vertec VR5 in 17" x 7 hyper black. they fit and look perfect. The only problem with them is that they kept sending me two center caps that were too small. After 4 months I finally have the right caps. Plus if your short on cash Discount Tires Direct has 6 or 12 months no interest. As for color hyper black or gunmetal.

the Wheels in the second and third pics would look great on my Lude. Are those the SSH knockoffs you were talking about? (made by nakayama)
