Default what would you buy?

If you had 2,300.00 for a set of wheels, not including tires?

Ive been waiting on the vossen cv1's in 19'' but damn I'm ready to buy some fresh wheels.

Any ideas or do I wait another 2~ 3 months?

Ahhhh..

sometimes, you don't even have to be a friends w/ a shop to get a good deal on wheels.

you do need to have the right timing and a stroke of luck to ****** up a good set of wheels for sale, though.

Works are clean, but you can probably get more for your money if you do some leg work. Good luck
