Default MY NEW RIMS!!!!!

We found an amazing set of rims at bloomington from a guy that used to road race his C4, well now that he has retired he was selling his 17 by 12 inch wide rims with 6 of his "rain tires" which are worth over $180 on tirerack.com. We are going to go pick them up on friday because the guy lives closer to us than it would be for us to drive to bloomington. Then since our tilt front is already flared, we're going to flare the rear like crazy, going for that hardcore race look. And yes, in case you were wondering, we are insane
Now for some pics
