Default New Rims

well today i have spent all day looking at new shoes for my beast so i could take the 12 sloters off, i found my rims i like and have baught them and they get put on my car on wensday,

there AMG quakes

found it hard as i didnt want spacers and theres not around for a EA-EL in there offset.

but hears what they look like,

cost me $780 with no tyres but i got tyres so its all good, but that price includes fitting and balence,

i looked at 18's but the tyres that i would need are costly, 17's are alot cheeper to replace,

the BA indercators are not as easy to fit as they look as they are thiner then the EB ones so i had to get a piece of strip that didnt have the holes for the indercator and i had to drill them to suit i think i did a good job, but it wasnt a snap on fit and i think they look better then the AU ones and i got them for $26
