They look really nice. I tried to take pictures but it was pretty dark, and they turned out bad. I'll do it tomm.

They are nice, just have a bit of curb chew on them - but its hardly noticeable. The tires look great on them, too. Kumho ecsta 711's.

Next up is putting disc brakes in the back. Those rotors are pansy. I may paint the calipers after the disc conv. as well...I'm thinking black or red. Any suggestions?

i got lucky with the 250. the guy i got them from just couldn;t afford tires, so he sold them to me for what he paid.

the 600 shipped w/ tires is almost worth it, because i paid
250 shipped wheels
238 shipped tires (kumho ecsta 711's)
41.00 for mounting/ balancing

so its almost 6.

these needa bit of work, but by just looking at them, you cant tell at all. Personall,y i think its like night and day with how it looked before.

also- i was owrried about thew heel gap, but after getting them on, it doesn't bother me at all, tghey look great

the 711's are a little loud and have a rougher ride, but its worth it. I've gained like 10-15 more mph around corners than before (it would be more, but i like to stay in my lane at all times)

sorry if i rambled, im drunk/
