^+1 to that! It will only set you back about five bucks!

I'm waiting to complete my suspension and brakes, then I'll mount up the wheels and get pics. They're big chillin in my garage, wrapped in Falken Azenis 245/40-18's.

woo found 19inch momos with tires for sale with no rash or damage...going to see them tonight.

the tires are 235/35/19 that will fit right? 800 seems like a good deal for all 4 with tires but im kinda hesistant on black machined face vs silver...but if i get silver machined face i have to go with 18's...what do you guys think? i have a VR.

Phrenetik, where you at? I might have to sell my silver 19s soon - they have Nitto NT555 tires mounted already and only like 10-12k miles on them.

If you're in my area, we should talk.

Long story short, I am considering getting rid of my 8, and it makes much more sense money wise to sell the Momos separately and put the stock wheels back on. The wheels are worth more off the car than they are worth on it.

You are right though, I couldn't beat 800 bucks, I would be asking more like $1000.

Unfortunately, one of mine has a little bit of curb rash from a rogue coffee shop curb, but it's really not too bad. I am considering paying the $100 or so to get it fixed by the Wheel Dr. if I am going to sell them, but I'm not sure if it's quite bad enough to reduce their worth by $100. Shame you aren't nearby to see if we could work a deal!

Here's a a few more pics in different light. It really shows off the camelion effect of the Nordic Green.

Thanks Alucard, for the motivation to get these. I absolutely love the way it transforms the car.

God I love those wheels. Regardless of what some people outside of this thread may say, MOMO makes some sick wheels that look amazing on the 8.

Thanks man. It's coming along...but it still has a ways to go to even be noticeable next to the infamous Alucard. I wasn't taking shots at your setup, either. I do like the Eibachs. It's just a little less aggressive of a drop...

Hey if anyone is thinking of switching up their silver 19's let me know. I love these Momo's and I think they would be sick on Kasumi! Here she is with my current wheels. 3 piece Racing Hart CR's.

Edit: Are these TPMS friendly?
