There a brand new wheel Mike. They are trying to ramp up production, so the wheels are drizzling out of the factory a few sizes at a time. I think they will be hot. I'm going to stick with 6" rims for the front with the Mickey Thompson front runners I all ready have. For some reason (atleast to me), the super skinnies look odd on a GN. Maybe it's the square styling on our cars. Plus, I want to be able to turn on off/on ramps. I haven't forgotten you on those pics I promised----I will get them ths afternoon.

they look sweet - you stuck with 15s right? I'd like to see what one of our cars looks like done up with the overhaulin chip foose wheel treatment. Not saying it's what I want just that I want to see....

15's all the way. I like the look of tall rubber.

Thanks. Wheels are so hit and miss. They either make or break the looks, and you really don't know until you put them on.

You can't! They discontinued them after the first run. I will have the only set.
