and to think, I had several big west coast wheel distributers looking for these wheels just three months ago. They said there were none available and that the rim was discontinued. I guess it pays to be a girl sometimes, you get special treatment. 
Anxious to see how they look, and hey, if you ever decide they dont work for you, remember me

Obviously you can see that the CE28 comes in gold, Racing Hart will come in Bronze (J8 Pro), anmd you can get the Gt7 in Noble Gold.
Oh, and if the question is "to zigen or not to zigen"...my answer would be, not to zigen Good luck with your choice, and in finding that sugar daddy.

Good luck with your choice, and in finding that sugar daddy.So since you decided, can I get an opinion for me now?
I wanna p/c the stock rims bronze, but having trouble finding someplace that has bronze. Do you think gold will look just as good?
