UPDATE! (still no wheels though)

So rumor has it that my new rims are coming this Friday (i'm not holding my breath though! )

Anyways I thought I'd give a little update. I installed the Brabus hood badge and I am currently rolling on a set of 18" "borrowed" Brabus Mono VI's... These actually look a lot better than I thought they would!

I think I might actually buy these for a spare set of rims.

So I decided that I'm going to buy/keep these mono's and use them for my winter rollers. Due to the extreme winters we get here in northern california i think it's necessary to have a winter set!

My wife is going to kill me for this one!
