got my rims today. billet specialties street lites. 15x4 front and 15x10 rear. i put sn95 brakes on her today so i cant wait to get back down there and see of the fronts will fit without a spacer.



these things dont weigh ****. they packaged them with one front and one rear and my wife carried them into the house and commented that she thought they ripped me off lol
