Thanks,

They are AWESOME! The weight of these and the rubber feel like they are less than the 15" steelies and rubber I had on during the winter. Changing them out was a joy, light! Did I mention light?

No, not awesome, I LOVE THEM.. but not in that way. I get a lot of compliments on the look of them. It was Enkei's or these, and these where the perfect price, so they're my babies new shoes.

hell yeah!, I feel ya on that bro!. those are forged. how much were they anyways?.

I got me some 17lbs each Enkei GTC01's. I love them, I don't have them on yet but it's going to happen. I can't decide if I want Falken 452's or BFGoodrich KDW-2's. I really like the FALKEN's though. The 452's are a new tire from FALKEN and look great and are a great summer tire good for both wet and dry traction.

I just can't ever bring myself to paint the calipers. I've seen it done extremely well, in a number of different ways, but I always think it's a little ricey (no offense to anybody) I think later down the road, I might get the Rotora BBK. Thanks for all the support guys.

P.S. I still laugh a little when I look at my plate. Especially when there's somebody in my rear view laughing about it.
