Cool My New Wheels

I just got new wheels for my car, so here is a pic. They are Enkei SPEED 17X7 with 215/45R17 Pirellis. I think they look sweet. I haven't been able to post a picture yet, so cut and paste this:

so i'm guessing 250 is an insane burnout. Well i haven't stooped as low as to spam in the past. But with the ocassion arrising so fast i think i might subject myself to the lowly disposition of a "spammer".

No problem with rubbing on the 17's. I will probably have a problem when I lower the car in the front. I might have to trim or flare and I do not want to. Sadly, these gorgeous wheels are discontinued. They cost me $550 for four. I would have paid a thousand, so don't flame me if your brother could have got them cheaper. For all of you that cannot view the pics, just open a new window in Explorer and cut and paste in the link. This is a geocities quirk.....

You are entitled to your opinion. In the future, it would be easier for everyone if you posted your comments in English. I don't understand what you mean by knockoffs, to me a knockoff is a single center lugnut with three "arms" on a true wire wheel. If by knock-off you mean a copy of something, I would like to know what they are a copy of. I searched for a year for a rim that I liked and I found nothing like this at any price.

A detail pic. These wheels are NOT chrome. I think chrome looks bad on this car because this car has no other chrome on it. The rim is powder coated Metallic silver and the center and rim edge are polished....

They are heavy (sigh). They weigh 15 pounds more than the stock BBS with 205/60-15 Dunlops. EACH. I am going to have to get hardcore with the weight removal.

Perhaps you need an eye exam Sir. Those wheels look nothing like mine. Amazing that you could see a resemblence. You must think that Jennifer Love Hewitt looks just like Sarah Michele Gellar too. I mean, they are both young females, thin, yeah, they look EXACTLY alike. Holy **** man, go look at the pics again. At least now I know your profile is correct, you definitely work in "government intelligence". You certainly have an eye for detail....(cough, cough)... Good grief, we are doomed if you truly represent the people who protect the nation......

Take another look bud..... Yes they have five spokes, WOO, exactly alike!
