My new wheels...

These were originally fully machined. At first I was going to powdercoat just the spokes and leave the lips polished. Last minute I decided to just do the whole wheel. The calipers (RED) will be installed soon they should POP against the black. The Color is a matte black with a Semi Gloss Clear coat.

Before anyone asks the wheels are one piece, Front wheels weigh 22.8Lbs 18X8 Rear 25.6Lbs 18X10. I will post some pics after I get the tires mounted.

Should look fantastic. Make sur the "seal" between the rubber and the rim is good. This sometimes is a problem when painted. Hope to see your beauty around this spring/summer!

These are the wheels Roock was selling on ebay. I bought my set from a private party that ended up getting something else. I picked them up on ebay brand new never mounted for CHEAP. Roock does not make them I am not sure who's wheels they are. I love the design.

The rubber is on, I can't wait to see the car has the red calipers installed and lowered.

Curves check out this auction someone with a wide body is going to get a SWEET DEAL!

As for my wheels I purchased them from a private party that originally bought them on ebay from the same seller (Roock) I picked them up for $899 +$95 shipping The more I look at these wheels the more I fall in love with them. The finish on the machined wheels is perfect. They have sold a few sets on ebay for around $1000-1500 Depending on the finish.
