New wheels came in...
yesterday, courtesy of LAPD. ACE Slick 18/19 combo. Ordered a couple of new tires this morning and picked up some new pressure sensors as well. Install should be next weekend and more pics will follow. Very exciting!

AWESOME! If I got new wheels, they would be the chrome ones like yours. Tell me, how much did you pay for just the wheels?

Nice. I have been on the fence for those wheels. Any chance of throwing them on a bathroom scale. I would be interested in the weight of them.

acerider,
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They look amazing right out of the box and we hope you enjoy them when you get them installed.
2k2C5,
We had the manufacturer weigh the wheels on a certified calibrated shipping scale and they weigh:
Hyperblack 18" front wheel: 27 lbs.
Hyperblack 19" rear wheel: 35 lbs.
Chrome 18" front wheel: 28 lbs.
Chrome 19" rear wheel: 36 lbs.
For everyone else, the GP is still going on so if you are looking to get a set, you can order them off of our site.
$899.95 SHIPPED for Hyperblack finish
$999.95 SHIPPED for Chrome finish
Here is a link to the GP thread with all details and info:

painkiller,
You can't beat this price for a set of wheels like this! You just can't!
Don't pass this deal up. Once this GP ends, I don't know if we can ever price them this low as there may be a price increase on these wheels from the manufacturer after January 1, 2007.
Get your orders in before there is any chance of a price increase.
Thanks!
Shawn
