Northern VA RLs with custom wheels?

I just stopped by a shop in Centreville, VA, called Auto Xtras. My wife was getting her hair done, so was just killing time. Turns out they are the classic speed shop, looking like a set from the Fast and Furious. They do everything except stereo and video. From strut braces, to CAI to sways and springs, multitude of wheels, seats, steering wheels, it was a very interesting shop.

So the guy tells me that he has put wheels on two new RLs, one with 19x8 fronts and 19x10 rears for that "staggered" look, and then 20x9s on the other one, with section widths of 245 to 265.

So is this BS or are there two RLs out there in Northern VA with 19 and 20 inch Volk Racing wheels and 265 rubber?

I cannot say I have seen any RLs except stock ones.

He has not put any exhausts on the RLs, but said if I got some and needed to get them installed, he would do it for $130.

I paid $120 for my 5Zigen install, so that quote sounds about right. I'd be really interested to know if you ever spot those custom wheel RL's....
