You are correct sir!!! They Are Ruff Racing 279's They are probably not the quality of a CCW or HRE wheel but man they look good and for the little bit i drive the car (99' w/24000) they will stay in good shape.

I bought them from a forum vendor VQMotoring, they where a big help since i didnt know alot about offsets and spacers and things.

Thanks for the compliment.

I'll try to make it but,nothing guaranteed.I'm not too familiar with
South county unless I'm headed out to Anthony's or Fastbird's way.
