chicagos2k- how much drop you did in that car?i like the drop and plannng to have mine too.thanks
They are 18's and my car is actually pretty low. They are on Espelir's, but for some reason my car sits pretty low. I actually have maybe a finger or less gap. Especially in the back.

When we put them on, we did Pete's in the same day, and mine were a little bit lower than his. I like the stance, very aggresive. It is a little too low for some things. I can no longer get into my parking garage, it's underground.

I really like the wheels, very unique. One problem with our cars is that people tend to all have the same wheel. I've never seen these on another "S", a reason that I like them. Lee has told me that there was only one other set that is in black that was made for the "S".

Once they are on my car, I'll take some pictures to show what they look like.

They are Roja, I actually don't even know the model. I probably should have asked before I bought them.

Not the 5 spoke, but a similar design in 7 spoke from RoJa...and local:

BTW, if I remember correctly, there was a Berlina Black owner from Barrington that had the RoJa 5 spoke on his car. He ended up selling the car straight up to Schaumburg Honda with all his mods still on the car....Damon and I tried to swap all that stuff off before Schaumburg Honda sold it off.

One of the things I recall is that those wheels were HEAVY....

That's ok, not too worried about that. With all the problems with my car, heavy wheels are the least of my concern.
