Default Yes, I am too damn cheap to buy iForged wheels...

<center><img src="http://www.edgeracing.com/WTP/flik-artica-f-230.jpg"></center><p>Now's your chance to tell me I'm a blithering idiot to even consider buying a set of FLIK Artic wheels (18x8.5) for my Santorin Blue Avant at $188 each. I think they look great and allegedly weigh only 21 pounds and haven't heard/read anything too scary about them yet.

Comments?

I just don't see those making it bend free for long with lips like that. They look good though.

Default Just looked at the site. I like the wasps and the polars more. Wasps with black center anyone???

But being that light I would stick with 17's to have a little more tire protection.

Personally don't like the 3 piece w/screws look. 17s won't clear big brakes.
