    Not only were my old wheels not really doing it for me, but they started chipping REALLY bad. So, i bitched to konig, which sent me to discount tire (where i bought them from) and come to find out, they were under warranty.

    anyways, i didn't want the same rims, cuz i didnt like them as much as i thought i would. so i got new rims, only had to pay for shipping from konig (40$) didn't even have to pay for mounting or balancing.

    i ordered some black locking lugs that will be arriving today. will be repainting the calipers this weekend also.

    pics kinda suck, but ill get some better ones this weekend.

    It looks really good. I tried it on my car for a little while, but after a week it looked like it was trying to fall off(I think I had the tape too far back on the lip)...seeing yours makes my want to try it again.

    Rims look good man! I think I saw you driving the other day too, tried to catch up but you lost me in traffic. Nice ride indeed.
