Teaser!! Did someone say WORK!?

So. I picked up my 4th set of rims today. Fiance is pissed I have 4 sets now, but I'm happy so who cares, right?

I still have my:

18x8 A-Specs with fresh Michellins
18x9.5 BBS LM Reps with fresh Conti DWS
17 OEM stockies with fresh Michellins

and....Here's a teaser of what I just picked up today. I'm sure you guys will somehow figure out what they are though




Pics of all the sets:

I was gonna get those wheels earlier today, but they had too much curb rash for me. The seller sent me very detailed pics of them. You got a great deal on those wheels. Are you gonna get them refinished before you install them? Really nice pickup Quana.

Haha some how I knew you had seen them. I'm currently looking at my options for getting them refinished, I may just powder coat them a lighter color.

I talked him down some on the price too

Got any recommendations for a wheel shop? I don't know any one in my area...looking at shipping options right now

Honestly, I'm really not sure yet. I'm leaning towards a polished aluminum look; my car is DGP and I don't like the look of dark colored wheels on it...

I LOVEEE your white wheels though!!!

Cool wheels and all but if you're living in those apartments I would suggest that you cut back on wheels and provide your fiancée with a better environment.

If that's not the case then nice wheels!

Yup! I LOVED them on ballinfizzle89's car.

His fitment is way more aggressive than mine; but I want to at least get rid of the black accents on mine and make them silver/polished hopefully. I will be dropping them off tomorrow for refinishing; and MAYBE this weekend I'll install my coilovers too....

Here's what they looked like on ballinfizzle89's car
