Default My new rims, Made in Japan!

Well my car goes away for 2 months while the engine is being BUILT at Golden Eagle in Cali so here are a few pics of what the nice lady brought to my door today!

This is a pic of my car. So the car they will be going on when I get the engine back in it. The side stripe will be gone as Im sure the bronze wont match the gunmetal stripe but ill see. Mirrors, Either going black stock, Bomex or spoon. Im in no rush though for them!











Thats it, thaths all!

Thanks guys. I couldnt belive how light they were, I heard some say 12 and other say 14 but when put on the scale the weighted exactly 12.5 pounds so I was stoaked forsure!

Mirrors are damn expensive. See its tough cause everything that I have is colour matched and I wouldnt buy spoon mirrors and piant them. Id rather get bomex (no one has them) (no fakes either) and paint them white. Ill see come summer. Car should be on the road hopefully for June so just in time for tha main shows and race season.

Would it be more or less here in the US? Because I have found those with tires for $999 in 16x7.

I don't know why, but I actually like the graphics that were on it. Nothing extreme, just kinda simple. And since you can back it up with the motor, it's all good!

Hahahahaha, yeah. I love how it says Right Weight Casting Wheel on the red stripe, and how they arbitrarily capitalized letters in the jumbled up sentence.
