Thanks DIRT. They were about 500-some odd dollars for the set of 4 with mounting and warranty.

And thanks for posting up the info Limited.

Here's a sunny day shot-

Hate me for posting again if you want, but I cleaned the Ex up the other day before I went to the drag strip for a new PB. She may not have been the fastest, but she looked good doing it

Thanks, I really need to get some better shots. I'd like to lower it a hair and MAYBE paint the calipers a deep red. Otherwise, exterior is pretty much done(4th gen taillights, possibly billet U/L grill) and just need some go fast goodies

Forgot to mention, Tylers02 just moved back to KS and I saw him on the Hwy headed the other way. His Ex looked really good and I need to get a pic with him before the weather turns to crappy. I really like the all black look and almost want to send my wheels to Jon to get a matte black finish powder coated on them. Guess I need to snatch another set up some day and have two sets

limited- even if you painted the grooves in the spokes black that would really set them off!

If they get any kind of black, it's ALL going to be black Along with 4th gen tails and then get the black headlights for a "murdered" look
