Nope, nothing to cry over. I didn't know the rotor wheels were 7" wide though. Not trying to bag on Gonzz, but shipping is a bit high, however the current price more than makes up for it.

I dont think they are 7 inch either. I will go check mine out and get back on that. They dont appear wider than the plus wheels or the SA ones.

Ahhhh, but I would need the other two as well! Even if they weren't as wide. Boo to that.

Even if they are ugly I'd rock them on one of my FB's. Maybe even just for random cruise days, and save my mesh wheels for the days I want to look pro status instead of rotorcore. That would be fun stuff.

I actually know of a guy who sells them. He is stationed in Germany I think and has good prices. I was missing one and got a decent shape one for a pretty good price, although I cant remember what that price was... Getting old is a bitch (just turned 26 lol).

IMO, the rotor wheels are butt ugly and I would never put them on my 7. But, if your trying to restore a 7 that originally had them, then sure, they would be fine.

Somewhere on the wheel it should say 13 JJ ?.?, with the last digits being the rim width.
