The 16s will be heavy im sure, but i think the 17s are suposedly made different, so much heavier than the 16s.Originally posted by KielanI've had a lot more fun in my Dad's Prius than I care to admit.

I used to run them on my circle track cars. Never had an issue with balancing as we were not allowed to run wheel weights. For some reason, they don't like small pieces of lead that can come off and kill someone in the stands. Even with no weights and slicks, I never noticed a shimmy due to them not being balanced. Definately some strong wheels. I think I still have a couple around the shop if you want to take a look at them when you get here tomorrow Mike.Until I get a better pic...

I came pretty close to buying a set of 17x8.5" and 17x9.5" before I bought the Boyds. But what deterred me was a similar thread on Eurghetto that had some poor reviews on DR. They are basically wheels that are meant to be disposable, and at that price and the fact that they are made for open wheel racing it's not surprising. The quality is supposedly very sub-par for a street car.
If they were not my only set of wheels I'd probably still get a set. But at this point I was looking for a set of wheels to be my "only" set and the DR's didn't seem to be a good fit for that.
