I'm glad someone finally decided to get those! I remember seeing them along time ago on here on a blue or black TA and thinking they looked so badass.

If you dont mind me asking, but what did they cost. Just the wheels alone.

Im so stuck between 18s or 19's. Its hard to say, I just dont want them looking too big, I have a WS6.

nice wheels man. I have a set on my ws6. Those wheels are very HIGH maintenance but worth every penny if you can keep them clean.

Congrats!
