Finally the wait is over!!!

Today I got a call from the insurance and his insurance has accepted liability and they are paying for my car in full, and we are working on a settlement and a "loss of use" of my car payment since i was out of a car for a while and i had to burrow one

but I am getting new rims out of it, since i accepted responability for the rims and tires to buy them, this is what im getting



they are 17x7 42 offset 4x114.3 with michelon wynstar tires

they look sweet and i cant wait to get them, they are 699 from www.gotwheelsandtires.com

all i have to pay out of pocket is 50 something plus lugs

cant wait to get the settlement and ill be set

I hope you didn't go with your "lowrider" style tire again!! hahaha. I was running 214/45/17 with my 17's. ( pre-18's) I'm sure it will look good when it's all done. Yes, you will need a drop. ; )

i want 17's since the weight issue with the CL's why have more weight, when 17's are just as nice as 18's, your just going for looks with 18's i want to keep the weight down on the car

18's are heavy, the 17's are 17lbs each and with tires they arent much more
