Piaa wheels sold by forced fed. Tires falken 615's. The tires suck compared to A048's. Nitrons give the ride height. 17's

Wheels look good! Like the white with the red bolts. Not to keen on the blue with the red bolts though. Colour matched would be sweet. Great stance! What size are the wheels, 17"??

FAUK. I really love those on the Mag blue. Damn you! I may have to become one of the "morons who spent way too much on wheels" b/c of you. oh heck. I really like those a lot.

EDIT: just went to sector111.com. nevermind. I don't care how much I like them. 3k is insane! or I'm just cheap. damn you again for making me drool all over my scrubs. what will the patients think now?
