Default New Boots!

I wasn't really looking for new wheels, but apparently I forgot to turn off my craigslist alert, and look what popped up today.




They are a Gemballa 2-piece version of Speedline turbo wheels. The specs are:
- Front: 8"x18" ET52 - 23LBS
- Rear: 10"x18" ET52 - 24LBS

They were local so I just had to go check them out and haggle. Besides I was kinda eager to see if I can transport four wheels in my S4



Next stop is tires. I am thinking Michelin Pilot P1. Now just need to mull over appropriate sizes.

And here are the wheels on the car. They fit perfectly and once the front of the car settles down everything should be good
