Total = 10 (for the mathematically impaired). I'm surprised HRE hasn't made a vending machine for you where you could just swipe your card and get a new set.
If only it were that easy. I think after seeing the Gold wheels, maybe people were expecting Brush Tinted Red or something out there. In person, this set looks so aggressive. But with my Annie Liebowitz skills on my iPhone, I can see how it doesnt stand out as much. But what's interesting is that I got tons of compliments on my gold wheels, and for all intents and purposes, I hated how they made my car look. The finish was awesome, just not with my car. These, the P40SC in the satin black and the last set I have coming, are my faves!

They look great...you just took the pics on the wrong side of the car (the shaded side) and the shadows are playing tricks with the pics

I'm positive they look insane in person

Cool

wow! very nice! they look right at home on the car, looking forward to some more angles when the time comes
are they tucked in very much?
they also appear nice and concave?
I'm hoping for a non-cave set for these next ones, and an aggressive offset too.....and the color! holy ****e the color!!

but again, nice work with the 101's

Yeah the wheels look to fit perfectly. I took awful pics of the "shady" side and so it really doesnt present them well. I will get pics from my boy Alex and hopefully that will bring out their full glory!

Pretty soon. I have the new ones coming out in full Uranium. The lip is completely radioactive, but at night it has this beautiful shine. I should be able to get a nice photoshoot of those before all my hair falls out and I shrivel up and die.

No doubt! Let me know when you finish that wide body kit so we can slap something on. Man, the gold wheels would look bananas on a black car...too bad they wouldn't fit a C63!

their similiar but different, i think they are little more edgy than the 101's

its funny , every brand and their mother has this style, but i think the three piece aspect of it is what really makes these stand out...

plus ive got a thing for three piecers..

For my Delorean, yes....but no, the last set of wheels I have coming is the S104...what I believe Dubbs was alluding to. But who knows, that may have been his way of asking me if I can take better pics of my wheels for sale to see how they might possibly sit on his car.

That's always a possibility one day soon....but the problem with getting multiple sick wheels isn't the money, it's deciding when to switch them out. Plus, with the CF wheels, the problem I see is that the lip is carbon fiber. Why is that an issue? Because in my opinion -- for my car -- with a 3 piece wheel, since I cant get 21s because they wont fit, 20s will look too small with a Wheel that has a Center that is finished differently from the lip. For example:
