My "go" wheels are on... :)

Finally got the car back...looks pretty good. Had some time so I decided to throw the "go" wheels on the car...Here are a couple pics...Straight off putting them on...Comments are more then welcome...







UNFORTUNATELY...

I had to take them off cause I was hearing a leak in the front passenger wheel. It's weird cause I haven't touched them since I picked them up from another member. Oh well...I'm going to go to a tire shop on monday to see if I can take care of this problem. I can't wait to get them back on!!!

Front lip, rear spoiler, rear diffuser is awaiting install...along with some engine werk...can't wait for that either!!! :drive: :drive: :drive:

For those who are wondering...yes...I recently posted pics of my HRE wheels that I bought also. Those are my "show" wheels. I didn't buy tires for them yet because I was going to run these for a while...but I think that might change soon...
