^^^ not at all..

I got into a Small accident so my insurance company gave me the money to get it fixed , i just payed the difference, Which was 500 out of my pocket for rims and tires!!


But if you want to buy them , it would cost about 1300

when nemesis said paint the rotors, i think he really did mean paint the rotors. he was referring to the rust on the hub (does not come in contact w/ the brake pad). if you have a good dealership they should do it for free, or at very little cost to you.....

rims look good. im actually looking for rims for my titanium 8 right now...

Nice... I'm still currently on my rim hunt. I like the depth shown in this shot. I'm looking for something in a similar spoke design, staggered, but maybe with a polished lip and gunmetal or black spokes for my Whitewater Pearl.

Not sure if you want to know this or not man, but they weigh about 30 lbs each. Also, 225 and 245 seem kinda narrow for the width of your wheels.

30lbs ike? wow really.. that's pretty heavy. Yeah i also have to agree about the tire size, at 1st when i thought about it it did seem very narrow. But hey i just took my friends advice about them.

I never would have thought it would have weighed 30lbs! but that's alright.

I was planning on going with a Nitrous setup, but from doing alot more searching n etc, i'm probably going to be going with the greddy turbo. So that should make up for it i guess. But hey thanks alot!! ike!

Oh and btw! what website did you get this info from?

According to an e-bay vendor the 18x8.5 weigh 28.8lbs., they're also going for 500-550 a set shipped so I hope you got a price pretty close to that.
