It looks sick.

Looks nice! Very similar to my wheels but lipped with a rivet pattern. Drop it like it's hot and she'll be sitting pretty.

They are the Euro 63RS made my Monarch wheels. http://www.monarch-wheels.com/wheels.php. Mine are 19's x 8.5-front/9.5 -rear. I absolutely love them. They are also lighter than the stock wheels.

Talk to Roy at Monarch (phone # 714-521-3888). He's a great guy and will take care of you.
