Very nice choice!!!
Yeah they were. I moved them into storage so I don't see them everyday. They look nice and neat with the covers. Maybe I will just leave them in the boxes with the covers and not mount them :P

Thanks bud! Looks like I am your evil twin. You were my main influence for getting these wheels. I appreciate all your help. If you are ever in Chicago please don't hesitate to hit me up. Drinks on me.

Soon. A bunch of Chicago members are doing a ton of mods. We will probably have a lot of fun this summer with photoshoots.

Nah. They are almost flush as it is. Anything below 30 and you are stick out past and you need a ton of camber (e.g. slammed on coils). It's my daily so it needs to be driveable.

They are no longer available in Mercury Silver. I think this color is nice. It will match my black pearls well.

So Vik, I thought you were gonna wait until you got your tires until you posted - couldn't contain yourself, huh? Congrats man, the Progressiv ME's have always been on of my favorite wheels, and they look fantastic in that Formula Silver. Can't go wrong with Volk Forged 1-Piece JDM goodness and ________ ___ tires (don't wanna spoil the surprise... )

Javier
Thanks again Javy! You were a ton of help. Again please don't hesitate to hit me up if you are in town.

I already spoiled the surprise Michelin PS2s!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Andre! We gotta do a photoshoot once you get your wheels.

Now let me know how you're going to get your TPMS sensors programmed. Cuz McGrath wants $140 to get them done. I just think that's ridiculous!
Thanks KC! I will be your evil twin. I love MS and would have gotten it if it wasnt discontinued.

To Date, i still say those are the best looking rims for the IS. And that is coming from someone who is rolling sf winnings. If i had to do it over again, i would have got the me's. hehe plus i would have saved a few 100.

Awesome man. Get them mounted and done and pics up!

You too! We can finally have a legitimate reason to do the downtown photoshoot.

When I make a thread, I feel I need to respond to everyone since it's MY thread. I hate when someone starts a thread and never answers people's questions/comments. I'll probably delete all the thank yous after a week or so to clean up the thread. I'll keep all the pics and size/tire info for people's future reference.

About 10 minutes. I may have missed some people. Sorry if I did!

Thanks comb! I love SF Winnings. They are one of my favorite wheels.
