Damn nice, TLW aka Johnny

Mount 'em soon so we can see those shoes on your feet. They sure look good in the box though.

I can't wait 'til my next set of rims, probably in a year or two. I am definitely saving for some phat azz 3-peice monsters, with lips like Mick Jagger.

But for now, I salivate over the JP Tails. This has GOT to be my next major mod.

19x8.5 offset of +40 hi-disk...27-28lbs

19x10 offset of +40 lo-disk 27-28lbs

Sick, Johnny!!!!! One of my favorite wheels, man.

Glad you finally figured out what you wanted, bro...the stress of picking out your new wheels makes getting them all the more enjoyable.

Keep the pace up...your car is getting sweeter by the day.

Thumbs up

Great looking wheels. Chalk up another who can't wait to see the final product. Given their weight of 28 lbs, are these forged or cast? Since forged is typically lighter, was wondering how these compare to aero's? Also, why the hesitation to share your price? - inquiring minds want to know.

I would guess aero's are much lighter. less material (thiner spokes)

(not trying to diss your rims Johnny-they're sweet )
