Superlites are the shiznit. Good luck finding a set in 4x114.3 though, they fetch a pretty penny.

some advice,
Do not buy ROTA wheels.

speed a little more and get something decent.. ROTAs are notorious for breaking....

2nd hand Jap brand cat back would be the go IMO.
~$150-400 on ebay, or the forums.

New jap brand Dump. No name front pipe.
Or a combination pipe with good mounts.

It doesn't matter what you may or may not hit,NO wheel should fracture like the ones in those pics have.

Alloy wheels should buckle when impacted. not shatter.

There are more than enough examples like the ones above floating around on the web to put doubt in any reasonable person's mind as to the quality of that product.

they are tempting wheels tho, at such a good price with good design, size & offsets.
