Default New Wheel Teaser...

Yeah baby! Picked up these guys last week. More to come soon.

Oh and ignore that POS parked next to me. I was at a local Sonic car show in Morgantown, Pa. Tons of ricers and about 5% decent cars of hundreds. Entertaining though.

Thanks guys. I was unsure how polished wheels would look with pewter and I was hoping to go with 18s but damn I got such a good deal on these FM5s I just couldnt pass them up.

They've really grown on me though.

Sorry no high-res, I didnt take the pic but Ill ask the guy who did if he has one.

Here's the pic before HDR though...

FM5's >>>> ZR1's all day! Nice choice, and nice job getting the budget price. That's what I did with my CCW classics.
