SSR Comp-H's are also muy nice.

thanks guys for all of the input...

I have changed my mind and am looking at a few sets of wheels mainly bbs ch's, volks and ssr comps

What do you guys think about size? Would 18's look good if I did a drop or should I look for 19's?

axis is ok, had some 19" Sevens 8 years ago but they bent and cracked and were crap...I was hoping they have gotten better.
You can find used ZCP wheels with tires for that price

Or ZCP wheels by themselves for a touch more with a discount from a local dealer.

Looks good, but how does the tc kline version differ? I believe those particular volks (non-tc kline) are already available in the correct offsets.

Get those CH's from Sechsgang.....they are HOT wheels for sure!

Outside of The Matrix here, I have never seen another Z4MC - incredible in a city as big as Chicago (speaking of which, that shot - parking garage near the Best Buy at Elston/Armitage, near I-90/94?).

I'll likely go with CSL replicas since I want 8.5" up front and OEM would mean "real" CSL wheels - difficult to get, I've heard.

Wilbur760 - what'd you wind up with?

Hey ep, its "Luminor"...yes, that's the Best Buy parking deck...

...and you're probably right about the ZCP only being over done on these boards...but then again that is where people who care are, right?

Here's the CH:



Have you seen the new LM-R?



Too bad they no longer make the RX-II, those were the best:
