Hell ya! John charged my card for the wheels! It means they're done! So next week hopefully they'll be here depending on how backed up they are on shipping out wheels.

By the weekend I'll have them mounted guys. I'll take better ones with the dslr. So I'm gonna post up my aeros soon for sale most likely on a vw forum since they like that style. Gonna find a spare that won't require a spacer.
