Default Got my new shoes!! Flik Lex 18x8

Got my new shoes on tonight. Strange thing happend though, when I went to drive my car would not move. I took the wheel locks that Edgeracing sold me off, cause I 1st noticed they were a bit longer, and then I was able to move. But I was very cautious becuase I read that happened to someone else as well. No big deal, its alright and they look and handle great!

There are more pics in my gallery section, www.doodmonkeyradio.com

The rubber I got was Falken GRB 451 -they hold very very nicely, can't wait to really get on them to see what they are like, but so far, they are freakin solid..<ul><li><a href="http://www.doodmonkeyradio.com">DooDMonkeyRadio</a></li></ul>

Default Very nice, I've been eyeing the lex's. If you have time, plz take a pic in the daylight...

I've got Santorin and would like to see how they look on the car in daylight. Also, do you have sport suspension? If so, any rubbing, etc.?

Default Ooooh, I like.

I think those rims with the gunmetal finish will look sweet on my Santorin A4 with chrome removed and 35% tint all around.

Your car looks good. How have the rims held up for you? Aggressive driving on rough roads?

I agree..don't care for the split spokes but it looks like a very high quality finish
