OEM counts right?

Next!
O.Z Prodrive 17x7 white yokohama parada spec-2 215/40/17 FOR SALE NOW! 500 full set(wheel/tires only)


Next! not here yet! but in three days!

17x7 gunmetal with polish lip 1 1/2" tires... so far will be TOYO FZ4 215/45/17(for the winter, and for the ski resorts! )

Sorry don't have the weights on these wheels, I will weigh them one day though as I am curious about it too. Will post the weight as soon as I have it.

Discodan,
Were you referring to the Gram Lights or the G-games 77s? Thanks!

where i got them?

em......
you know there is this new place i just found out on the web called "EBAY"

i hang around ebay during holiday season, you will be surprised how many deals you able to get.
it is my way of holiday shopping.

The wheel look way better during the day! gunmetal spokes and polish lip. (i called it "THE BOMB" )

What's next?
Actually Alta was the next one, but i put it on today too. Next will be..... new stripes. TheGraphicDude is going to make a viper stripe for me(still in process).
My biggest on going project is searching for some real cheap Carbon Fiber product. i will have answers soon.

Holiday Season, you gotta be cheap and smart!

Have never seen either on another.

They look like 17's in this pic because I am running 225/50/16 Victoracers in the front and 215/45/16 V700's in the rear.

The sidewall height is fooling your eye.

Thanks discodan!

Minirox,

How do the front mudflaps fit over the aero kit? I am about to buy one, but I'm worried they are moulded to fit the stock MCS skirts. Does it really help in reducing the dirt thrown to the side of the car?
