Here are my new wheels. They are Volk GT-N in hypersilver 7x17 ET44. I'm not sure there keepers so if anyone really likes them, PM me and maybe we can work a deal.

i've been staring at this pic off and on for about three hours now, and it finally hit me(work w/ me here): the blue, the checkerboard a panel, and the wheels- it's lookin' prety "Jackie chan"- and by that i mean, in a badass chinese police car sort of way. all it needs now is a left-hand drive and some lights on top... (hope you "get" the compliment).
