Default Santa was 2 days early -- JONGBLOED 550s

Merry Christmas to me from me -- with the help of Speedware and Ryan at Jongbloed.

Jongbloed -- Made in Northern California

I sold off my Fikses to another RLer (thank you) and replaced them with Jongbloed 550s that delivered today.
Just thought I would share...

18 x 9 -- 18.2 lbs
18 x 11 -- 18.95 lbs


Jongbloed 550s in balck ano

I will post some pics on the car after christmas... figure it is better to bring the wheels home AFTER my wife gets her christmas gift...




here is a pre ano shot

nice, PJ. They would look great on a black car with the orange label. If I keep a 5 lug car I might get a set for the spring.

Thanks Gordon!

I wonder if they make or can make a center lock... I do not see why not...

I will inquire

EDIT: They can make a centerlock for 2010 GT3 I am told

PJ,
You would know, for a guy with how many sets of nice wheels (for his no more street GT3)?
Way cool... Merry X-mas.

Wow. Nice wheels.

I love it when someone makes great choices off the beaten path.

I remember lusting over Jongbloeds' way back in the early 80's when Gale Banks was working his twin turbo magic on GM F-cars.

I've been looking around for a set of rims (not sure what I want since Fikse is out of the picture). These look amazing!

if you want fikse you might check again. It is my understanding that they are working through the issues to get back on track (no pun )
