Default I'm going to bite the bullet

Well fellas I decide that I will venture out of HRE's to avoid some of the long times and so i can enjoy some shoes before the winter arrives.

I found my way to a rim shop yesterday and came up to these three piece wheels....all chrome of course....

What do you guys think? Vellano is the mfg....

They look cool man. If you like the VIP style wheel then check out my AME Shallens for sale in the classifieds.

Well, Im not a big fan of the "closed face" wheels, but I actually like those. Im not too sure how they will look on the new GS... especially in the Matador Red. But we shall see soon enough right? Just make sure the body is sitting right on top of the tires and not two feet up!

Those look pretty good too man....i just posted the first one cause that's what they had in inventory and available to go...probably somewhere around $5500 with tires.....
I will see if they have either of those available as well....then i can make a choice.

I'm just trying to end up with something by next week. Worse case if i get them and eventually dont like them, i'll get something else by next spring.

Thanks for the advice on these...those 5 spokes look pretty awesome.
