I mostly like them, though if you were going for light weight, you could have done much better.

I'll agree with most of the others that some of the previous sets were nicer but these are not bad at all. Perfect for the track.

They 10's They 10's but I keep them clean tho! Black and red will look mean! Time to hit up the track. I have been thinking of getting a back up set of lightweight 18's. 18 inch tires are alot cheaper so I can drive it like I stole it more often.

My car is damn slow... . Maybe I should jump on the 18" 1/2 piece bandwagon and go with some 20 lb. rims...LOL...Nah, I think I'll stick with what I got.

We should've done another photoshoot this weekend, but Flip obviously has "other" priorities...LOL. jus' messin, dawg.
