Default New Wheels Mounted on Car PICS

Well I got the BBS LM style wheels from highline today, and wowa they are gorgeous. The first thing I did was weigh the wheels to see how they compared to the $4k real things. The front 18x8 ET52 2PC wheel weights in at 23lbs and the rear 18x10 ET48 2PC weighs in at 28lbs. I love the chrome rear lip and can't wait to get these things mounted onto the 951 to see how they look. I'm worried about the rear wheels fitting as the Moda R6 18x9.5 rear was ET52, should there be a problem? The guys at highline said they would fit, but you know how that goes sometimes. To bad the car is 300miles away tucked away in the garage...

Great... my computer is being stupid as ussual.. bare with me im uploading the pics as we speak. The pictures are just of the rims only they're not mounted on the car and they look identical to Jerry's LM's but mine have a silver finish on the mesh part.

I think I have seen those on ebay w/o tires for around the 1000 dollar mark. Here is a link.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...947951226&rd=1 I plan on buying these wheels too after I'm finished modding the engine.

Nice Dan.

It'll take me a while to recognize your car now; you know, with the old image burned in my mind and all.......................
