Dan those wheels are awesome! Did you get to weigh them at all or know their weight? How much did they cost? I like the fact that the design makes the wheels appear closer to 19s.

no...i didn't bother weighing them. they do feel heavier than stock when i was mounting the tires. but that's obvious b/c of the width of the rim + tire. they usually go for $1300 for the rims, $120 for the lug nuts, and $30 for the hub rings. i got a very good deal through www.desmondperformance.com down in FL. Daniel Desmond got me the wheels, lugs, and rings for a total of $1385, that's shipping included. took him about a week to get me everything to my door. i bought Falken Azenis ST-115 through www.discounttire.com
so happy with my overall purchase and i would definately do business with desmond again in the future. i ordered my 19" volk sf-challenges through a friend back in june...they still haven't arrived. the wait was getting to me so i decided to pick up the work wheels to satisfy me for the time being. plus, i wasn't going to be riding on the volks daily and i'm not fond of the stock wheels.

There is no way those shots dont have some PS work done. I will never believe it. You'd be smart to keep the secret to yourself and get paid to do photoshoots.
That being said, even if it is PS work you are truely gifted, the pics are stunning. Your car being super sexy also helps. I love seeing the progres of your carr very cool.
