colby is correct... unless you have an early 01 your car has hollow spokes.

MeanMachine has a reputation beyond repute

Your oem wheels arent bad but you can do better, take a look at Hre's c20's those are pretty light weight.

IMO, the HRE C21 Cups are without a doubt the sickest wheels out there. Designed for GMG's Cup car, they are super light and super strong, not to mention they look amazing!

DO IT. And that's good weight since its rotational mass!
