I want to replace the stock rims on my '04 GT sedan (Ralley Red)
What do you think of these (Motegi MRM - silver and black)?
Also there are options to this rim (17 x 7 + 42 5x120 20lbs, 17 x 7 +42 5x100 20lbs, 17 x 7 +42 4x100&4x4.5 20lbs, 17 x 7 +42 4x100&4x4.25 20lbs)
Which one is the right one for the EGT?
Also what size tire for the 17" rim will be okay and will keep the speedo accurate (same circumferance as the stock tires)?

They look good. It takes a second look to like them, but I think they would be different enough to make them work.

cool wheels. It's like they meshed 2 wheels, Subzeros and Kosei K1s to make them. you'll want the ones with the 4x4.5(114.3) bolt pattern. as for tires, the 205/45/17s are closest to the correct size, they are only .2% larger.
215/40s are close, they are <2% smaller (speedo is reading faster than actual speed) but see what the others say about clearance issues.

Just my quick thoughts... eww. But if you like them then go for it.

if it's cheap, go for it. IMO, will consider other.

I like those wheels. The GTs look great with 17" rims.

Per the other comments, I'm running 205/40R17's and I've been clocked at 58 when my speedo is reading 60. I bought ADR Sokudos with 4X114.3 bolt pattern, 40mm offset and they fit fine with factory springs on my rally-red 02 GT.

I think it might be neat to paint the darker painted areas to match the body... I'd have to see it though first -- it may look tacky. Perhaps photoshop could give you some idea.
