they look really nice aside from the sellers pitch that they need a "special lug kit and chrome valve stems"

Not a real big fan of black rims, but that all depends on how they look on a car. So in other words, post some pics when you get 'em on! :wink:

I saw those wheels for sale and wondered how they'd look . I'll be interested to see what they look like on your car. Do me a favour and weigh one of the wheels on your bathroom scale when they come in.

I had actually looked at those, but decided not to bid (I'd like a set in gold with a polished lip). I'm not sure if they clear the 4-pots anyways.

galek_98gt - They look great ! If you could do me a favour and throw one of the wheels on the bathroom scale. If you're wondering why I'm so obsessed..... wheel weight is a factor in auto-x (less is better) so I'd like to get an idea of where they stand as the price is very good.

Regardless I think those will look great on your car, post pics when they're mounted !!

Those are actually a copy of a Volk GTN wheels. The guys over on NASIOC don't like them for the most part, but they're willing to spend $500/wheel to save a couple pounds of weight. I'd like to know a weight on these without tires, as I'd also like a set, but in gold...dunno if they will clear the 4 pots though :smt012

alright i finally got them put on. i forgot to weigh them but i can say that with rubber on they were still much lighter than my stocks.
