Default The wheel search is over. Baby's got new shoes...

<b>This is not my car.</b> But these are the wheels. CCW SP16A, 19x8.5". It's a custom made one piece forged, 20 lb wheel, staggered lip. The finish on my wheels is not as shown in the picture. I'll post pics soon. I bought them used, with less than 4k on them and they're flawless. They have Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s mounted on them. AND the guy THREW IN his set of H&amp;R coil overs!!! Sweet! I paid $2400 for everything! Calculating what all this <b>would have</b> cost new:
Coil-overs = $1300
Tires = $1128
Wheels = $800ea x 4 = $3200
---------------------------
Grand total = $5628

I ordered my ECS rotors and Hawk pads. Now all I need is my lugs to come in, some locks (where from and which ones?) and some nice weather and I'm all set!

In the words of James Brown... "I feel good..." ))

<b>Many thanks Jason!</b>

Default they are nice but I agree I would get bored. I never thought chromed wheels looked good...

unless you are trying real hard to pimp. maybe its just the body style that doesnt agree with chromed wheels as where bmw's look good with chromed wheels. I like a stealthier audi with nice gun metal or black wheels better compared to a pimpin bimmer anyday.

Very nice. Sounds like you got a sweet deal also. I used RAD locks from PureMS with my new wheels.

Default Very well done, on all fronts....

attractive light wheels, new c/o suspension and light weight brakes. You'll be shedding some ~45 or so pounds of UNSPRUNG weight - She's gonna be much more fleet of foot, around corners and straight off tje line - You will be amazed.

and then when you consider what you paid for all that - STRONG WORK!
