Thanks. I'm waiting for some nicer weather to be able to pull it out of the garage and take some better pictures.

Thats cool the only thing for me that pissed me off was the shipping and the fact that they weren't clear with me about the width of the rim til after I ordered well thats what I get for not double checking with them before ordering but the customer service was good though..

Well, I went back and forth on this decision. I had been thinking about new wheels for a while and a member on this board actually emailed me out of the blue and asked if they were for sale. I threw out a number and he accepted.

Change is good. I had the Evo's on the car for over 3 years and now it's time for something different.

These wheels are growing on me more and more and I'm sure once spring time comes I will enjoy the new look.

Here's another picture a little further away. Granted it's still in the garage and the garage is only a 20x20, so I'm a little limited.




And for comparisons sake, here is the car two weeks ago with the HP evo's still on it.



I like both, but the Ruff's are growing on me more and more and actually have me excited about the car again. Sometimes you just need something new.

Both are nice looking wheels. Change is good. I like the how the rim color and car color flow together.
