Default My 'new' Lightweight 5-spoke Rim Pics

Just got these yesterday, cleaned them up and mounted them today. Running 245/40-18 in front and there is a slight rub on the inner fender on the right front during hard cornering. So far, no other problems with the 245's in front. The only reason I kept these on is that they are BF Goodrich G-Force TA KD's which are suppose to be one of the best dry performance tire for the street. We shall soon find out. With only 50% tread left, I'm sure I'll be replacing them quite soon. I've got a new set of tires in the proper 225/265 sizes anyhow. Here are a couple pics.

Consequently, I no longer need my Mille Miglia Cup III's (Turbo Twist Replicas) as seen in my avatar. Fronts are 18x8.5 offset 52 and rears are 18x10 offset 65. They are in like new condition., not a scratch! Wheels only and no center caps. I'll take $700 plus shipping so if you are interested, PM me.

Beautiful!!! Obviously I'm a big fan of the 5 spokes. What suspension set up do you have? I like your ride height.

Wow,

Absolutely stunning!!! I've always like the simpicity and elegance of those rims. That, along with your ride height and split/colored grill, really give your car an impressive look (and in G.Red...whoa! I hate it when I get these kind of ideas in my head). Congrats and enjoy!!!

Arghhhhhhh..... every time I see the 02 Carrera wheels, I get weak in the knees. Did you buy them new or used? May I ask the source and price?
