I love the wheels as well, i'm looking for a set and the AME Concepts are a bit too pricy, but these would look amazing on my EL....

Mind telling us where you happened to pick them up?

AME does look real nice and some of the people in the forum has them.. one with AM TL, another with WDP RL......

i got them from local store and it took 1.5 months because they were backordered

never had the PIAA rims. i got the MOMOs because of the rubbing issue but with smaller tires i was able to put these 5zigens back on and return the MOMOs. now i need to buy the lug nuts again that'll look good on 5zigens..
