Extreme, hes not keeping these forever, just temp. for the time to put bigger tires on it. And if you READ the thread, he mentions how hes gettin a helluva deal on it, so he'd be shooting himself in the foot if he didn't get em...

I won't spend more in the long run, as mentioned, when it comes time for new wheels after these, I'll be able to sell these for a pretty good profit over what I am paying for them. Again, I am getting a deal that basically makes it a no brainer, simply just to get a bigger tire under there.

Ya, you bastard!! I'm getting these damn wheels for you for so damn cheap. You better not turn around and sell them for a profit before slapping them on!! Make sure you keep them for at least 6 months!!

Only thing that works are things made for a BMW 3 series, and they aren't perfect. The offsets are still off.

Loseit, I absolutely agree w/ you, I love the looks of the ones you posted, i'm still waiting to hear about a price as they are in the process of making wheels w/ the proper offsets for the GTO
