I think they look pretty cool, something like you'd put on a drag car. I think I'd rather have some ROH ZS wheels, but those are cool too.

Yeah the sorry part is I know some one who is selling a set for $300.00 because he needs the cash. I would get them but its the end of the month and for some reason the apartements want some money ha yeah. The dude that has them went crazy , wife left with the kid he shot holes in the wall as well as everthing else in the house. What a shame I cant get the rims [b]OH<b/> and the crazy friend.

I like those, Convo Pros right? Or one of the look-alikes. I will be in the market for rims sometime next year and have been thinking about those or ZR-1 rims (17x11 rears). There are a few others I like, but those and ZR-1's are my favs right now. I'm leaning toward the ZR-1's b/c they are probably better on the street.
