Nice!!! I love the blacked out rims with either chrome centers and lugs, or with the small dog dish caps. Cop rims with caps, steelies with redlines etc. Black rims with a set of chrome spider caps can look pretty awesome too.

I ran my Duster with cop wheels for a bit before I went to the really wide tires on it now...

For me I knew before I did this it would be a temporary thing until I decided what I wanted.

I was thinking all black aluminum 17" but now I'm leaning more toward 15" black steelies with chrome caps.

Are the steel wheels really that much heavier? Would it hurt performance much?

It depends on what wheels and what sizes. I found that the 15x7" cop wheels with 225/60/15's were actually heavier than the 18x9 and 18x10 combo I run now with 275's and 295's. But the enkei RPF1's I have on there now are one of the lighter wheels available. And the cop rims are a little heavier than most of the standard steel wheels, they're probably a little heavier than the rallye's if you compared the same sizes. But it wouldn't be a lot.

The 225's compared to the 295's.
