Well, I have to go get them installed next week sometime, but I got a picture of them anyway.
I love the 2" polished lip

I got it from a local store "big bear tire" in wisconsin, im in illinois but ill drive 2 hrs to get those. they were the only place I could find that had them, in stock, discounttire.com had them but wanted way too much for them

I got them with toyo proxy fz4's/18" rims/tuner style lugnuts/installed/balanced for 1200 bucks. Kind of high but that rim is schweet and they are 18's too so I guess its not that bad

Oh they are paradyme f/220 rims 18" I wanted 17's but they wont be out for like 3 months still and I have money now and prob wont then

why do you have to get them installed??? You could do it yourself and save some money, unless you mean getting the rims put on the tires. I personally LOVE those rims. Do you know if they make them in gunmetal w/ that polished lip???

Im getting them mounted/balanced/installed for 5 bucks a wheel, cant beat that price. I dont mind paying if its worth it to me. Plus Im driving 2 hrs to get them cause I would rather drive to pick them up instead of paying crazy shipping charges, so i gotta be rollin' home with em on.

They only come in 18's either chrome or silver right now, they should be coming out with 17's in a couple months but thats it.

I will post some pics when I get them on, and ill finally have a sig pic of my car

1200 for some deep dish 18" rims is an awesome deal. That would look great on a lexus or mercedes or other luxury car imo.

Looks like the 17" are already being offered and at a real good price as well.

I have 17" Konig Velocity (a discontinued model) but they look exactly like that, but the polished lip is maybe only an 1". Someday I'll post a sig and you guys can check them out. Otherwise, like those wheels man!

1200.00 is an awsome price for 18's.... i paid 2300.00 for my Cromed Giovianni's kobes when they first came out 2 yrs ago.

aren't deep dish rims for rear wheel drive. They look rediculously slick on the eclipse, but will they effect handling, being so sunk in. Just curious...
