I had them on my previous ride (and on this one for a short time until the new wheels came in).
I really liked them. I liked them even more after I sent them off to be painted (back & spoke sides) and polished (face & lip).
Quality was fine - my only complaint was that I couldn't get them in 17x11...

Click the link in my signature and follow it to my Webshots page, plenty of pics there. Quality is OK, not great but OK. I love the styling. Simplistic wheel but really compliments these cars well.

Hey, thenks to both of you for the pix... I think I'm sold on them for now (budget constraints). Since my TA is pewter I'm thinking about having the spokes powdercoated black with the polished rim. Just an idea... but either way, they look great on both of your cars! Thanks

Shane, I knew you had the face silver and the sides and back black, but I didn't know the face was polished. Those look really good. Did someone local do that for you, or did you ship them somewhere? Can you give me some sort of lead? Mine have taken some abuse over time and getting that done would really clean them up, plus I think it looks really nice also.

I sent them off to "Wheel Technologies" - I think they were in Dallas. Link should be www.wheeltechnologies.com It was a few years back when I had those done though...
Good luck!

Thanks Shane, emailed them for a quote. If you dont mind disclosing the information, do you remember how much it ran you including shipping to get your wheels done? Did you ship just the wheels, or wheels and tires both?

I didn't have to pay shipping - they had a local rep in Austin, and he met me and picked up the wheels & tires both. I don't remember the exact cost, but it was *roughly* 100$ per wheel....

I've seen that car parked at my apt complex before, but it has the stock WS6 wheels on it. Very nice. I think a girl drives it now.

Cool! I heard some A&M girl had it after I traded it in. (I kept the aftermarket wheels, and put the wheels off my 02 on the 99 for trade-in.)
Glad to hear it's still around and in one piece...
