Getting ready to mount the wheels!

This Saturday at 9:31am, Tom @ Lucent will be mounting these bad-boys on my car:



They were purchased from a fellow 6speeder, Msindi. I let Arling decide whether to keep the lip polished or black.

I am extremely excited. I am looking forward to the car being raised because I'm scraping the hell out of my front lip and tips! I hope I don't bend the wheels because I have this strange attraction to run over pot-holes on the freeway. I will post pictures after the wheels have been mounted on the car.

Nice wheels.......polished would be my vote.

I'm glad to see Mansour's wheels go to a good home, he is a good guy and took impeccable care of his car. We were rollin on those wheels when I visited him in Boston two years ago.

Wheels look great! The polished or chrome lip is a much better choice than all black (IMO). I love that spoke style for Pcars.

That wheel in the background is a Lorinser.
