Default I'm buying wheels tomorrow, your opinion counts.

Okay, i'm down to 4 wheels they're going on my 94 red ex, like that matters,


Okay, just like that except without big *** sticker on windshield, and without clear corners, i got some visions now.

Helium Bronze

I voted for these because they are the lightest and I aslo like the way they look.

Personally i'm leaning toward the greenlights, they're only 2lbs heavier, and i think they look really nice. Either way, they're only $400 a set. So if i don't like them, whatever, i can get rid of them easy.

I still like the slipstreams even if they are getting played out. Just my .02 cents.
