D2..awesome looking wheels...these may be what Im looking for (that meet my budget constraints).
I have to agree 100%, the difference between a hum drum wheel and a "oh my thats nice wheel" is the car its attached to!! On a vehicle like bluelex's the wheel has a great backdrop (as opposed to a stock non lowered GS with dry tires! LOL).

Glad the wheels are up your alley, our operators are standing by! (I know, it sounds like a damn telethon!)

Unfortunately I have to get the coilovers 1st, but once Im ready to get my wheels, Im definitely looking to order from you (only because Im not that versed with wheels and offsets to begin with, and Ive seen how professional and friendly you are to all our fellow CL members...that in itself has earned by business once my finances are ready).

yeah you are so right, that too. i think the works have some sharper lines and it curves more, whereas the zone3 and this wheel are "flatter" by look

lookin good Adrian...I saw those wheels in another forum in black and in silver and i thought the design was really nice especially considering cost! i have to admit i wouldve probably agreed with people telling you not to do blue/black but then again thats what makes your car one of the hottest on CL is your willingness to take risk...

i cant believe i missed DUB...Adrian start calling or emailing my dumbass and remind me of these things cause i cant even remember my birthday sometimes and i realy wanna go to these events...

BTW - Derrick @ D2 once again earns his props!! (free plug)

Wow, the wheels look AWESOME!

Excellent look and price seems to be right.

Maybe my next set of wheels will be 1 piece Donz.

I like the 3-piece look to them and the lips are sweet.

Are the lips really chrome and not polished.

If chrome, that really be nice.

Do they also fith the Chrysler 300 C. Same bolt pattern.

How about New Mustang?

They look awesome on the ride. Great wheel choice.

Before I got my wheels from Derrick, I was inquiring about the same wheels at a local wheel shop here in chicago. I saw them on cars in the book and I loved them. Plus the name is just hot too. i decided against it though because they were two sizes bigger then I wanted and pretty expensive at the wheel shop. Derrick talked me into 19s and I'm happy.

These Columbos provide a great option for those who can't push the limits of their budget, which is most people with real lives. They provide great wheels that aren't too heavy, great finishes and the lip is great. They look just like the hard-to-get Gettins. I love them. I want that lip.
