haha bit of a funny up date for you guys today

bought these wheels today as i said they are 17x8 and 17x9 a techs with 27p and 35p offsets for $400nzd about $320usd lol they are great wheels very light weight and would have looked really good with spacers and a coat of paint etc etc but i didn't really like the look to much and have my heart set on a set of wheels that are no longer available in nz so i listed the wheels for sale online over here on a site called trademe.co.nz think it is like craigs list to you US chaps they sold in less than 2 hours for $550nzd about $440usd so i made abit of money oh and got some used semi slick tyres as well

will update when haltech gets here by then front lip and side skirts will be fitted then its just the wheels i have to get and it is finished with every think i have left to do aerosev is doing the rest!
