Well, my wheels arrived.....oh so happy...only, I don't have center caps :(

The wheels are 18" Porsche Competition

I thought they were both ET52, but only the front is ET52, the rear is ET 47....

Here's a couple pics:

Cmon...who doesn't do that when they get a set of wheels, hahaha

It's slowly coming together....All I need are some rear calipers, and the billet front hubs and they can go on...only, they aren't going to.

I'm gonna wait till I have the Maxx struts for the front and new shocks to lower the rear....so it has the looks. I don't want to feel like a truck all jacked in the air....

That'll be me and my woman after I get married. I'd just say to her "They're for your car sweetheart, I wanted to suprise you." :cool: I'm not sure if that would work for someone else, but I think it would work for me.

The wheels look GREAT!!! Please do keep us posted! They would look totaly sick on a Ghia. :laugh: :laugh:

Haha....well, after 2 hours of arguing, she finally got over it. Priorities eh? I couldn't pass up on the deal, I figured "a couple thousand dollar rims for next to nothing...hmmm...I'll be behind on a couple bills, but when is this offer gonna pop up again????" Some people call that dedication :p Now if only she coulda looked at it that way :laugh:

This is the last big purchase I make for a long time. I've still got a couple things needed before they can actually be PUT ON.

Wider fenders - $400
Billet Hubs - $500
Rear Calipers - $250
Maxx Struts - $450
Spacers front and rear - $250
Tires - only god knows

Christ this is getting expensive :bawling: I have all that to get before the GL meet/Bugjam.....yikes....outlook is not looking promising....anybody wanna give some donations?
