Just in case someone asks, this is not my car. I'll post actual pictures when I get them on.

No, I liked these so much more. They let me show off my brakes. I wish I had a better picture of them. They are two piece.

Yeah, I'd like to know too. TP and his friends (the Asian gang) all say that 8 and skinnier won't rub so hopefully they are right. (Asians are always smart)

They weigh less than my Mille Miglias. They weigh more than my factory wheels. TP, you don't know what your talking about. These wheels have aerodynamic features and smooth silver lustre that make them glide right through the air. I believe they are also filled with flubber.

Just because your rims are lighter then your older rims doesnt mean they are light. They are still heavy rims.

I didn't say they were light. I'm just complaining about how heavy my Mille Miglias are right now. I imagine a heavier rim will be stronger than a lighter rim. In case I have never mentioned this before, AUBURN'S ROADS SUCK!!!. I would rather have a heavy strong rim that's not going to bend. Where did Benz117 come from? Right on time.
