Default look what santa brought me....

so, yesterday santa stopped by my house while i was at school. i returned home to find these sitting there.



so in my confusion, i wondered what could ever possibly be in these large white boxes. so i opened them, and you can imagen i was shocked to see this...



i wasnt sure what it was, so i took it out of the box to look at it closer



im still not sure what these are, but i doubt i really need them that bad. they take up alot of room though, so if anyone wants them, shot me a pm.



























lol, my tires are getting mounted on monday, i'll post up pictures of them on the car then

What size are they?
17x9.5's. yeah, perhaps alittle lame sticking to the stock size, but one, tires cost a fortune, and the tires i have now still have a ton of tread left, and two, going to 18x10.5 or something probably would have made the cost of the rims more insain then it already was.

Wow! I love those wheels on T/A's
me too, lets just hope they look just as good on a formy

Duuude, those are the wheels I whant to get . I'm real close to getting them too, all I need is money. Yeah....about $4K, oh well someday .
actually, they were cheaper then i thought, all together after shipping and a new set of lug nuts i only paid 3701.50 for them from thunder racing, lol. i swore i'd never buy 3k+ dollar rims, but i broke down one day a month ago and got them, lol. now i cant wait to put them on.

honestly, pictures dont do these rims justice. especially when compared to something like the ws6 wheels or TT2's or zr1's or something. i've seen all of those in person, and the profil 5S just look incredable. im glad i spent the extra money on them instead of something like the TT2's or c6 rims.

thanks for all the comments guys!

paid in cash, just like everything else i do. no interest rate.

about the weight, they are about 16 lbs each. sorry, my only real way to weigh them was to set on a scale and see what i weighted, and then step on the scale holding the wheel, lol.
