Nice wheels

Nice wheels sponger, how heavy were they? They are 1 piece right? my 3 piece carlssons 2/5's are heavy compared to my old 1 piece 19's. But I love the wider stance in the back. Your rear lip is definitely deeper than mine.

Nice looking wheels, Carlsson 2/5's I believe. They are heavy also. One of the best looking wheels I have seen!

Waddup Bensitto! They're one piece replica's of your rims I think they're about 25 lbs (rears). The lip on the rears are my favorites. The lip on the fronts are pretty deep too.

i think so, hence the name 2/5 = 2 piece 5 spoke.

It's really a 3 piece: face, rim, polished lip

People call it a 2 piece wheel too though.

s4iscool, if you mean my car, here's a few pics from awhile back:

Got them from a close friend of mine at Discount Tire in San Diego and he gave me an awesome deal. You can get them for 1/2 the price of HRE, Lorinser, etc. Oh yeah, not sure if they will clear your C32 front brakes.
