Guys thanx a lot,

I honestly thought I would get bashed by putting black on my car. I totaly understand when guys say they like my gettins better thats cuz I do to these are temps until I get mine back which I just got a call this morning and should be next week ....But i can't lie I do really like the look of the blk..

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)
B- sorry man ,I've let you know about a couple shows but you seem to forget, You would have of loved this one, lots of actually nice cars instead of the blah at HIN..

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.


Ted
T- thanx man, Yes they are chrome lips not polished, no hairline scratches on these after you wipe. If my was blk i would stick with these...

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.

Thank you very much, D2 really helped me quick with these just in time for this past show, his retailers are great and quick and they came already mounted,balanced with h- rings and nuts with enough wrapping paper to protect to cover my house..

I met the guys from sevas over the weekend and saw the wheels in person and must say they look great aswell, the finish on the chrome and lips was a+ plus they are some really cool people, very family orianted and professional, good people.

Thosa are pretty damn sharp! I'm not a fan of black wheels (as a marketing guy they drive me nuts 'cause you can't see the style in photographs), but they look great with the black interior. What can I say, I am a sucker for 5-spoke wheels on the GS!

I think that wheel offers great bang for the buck!

Do they also fit the Chrysler 300 C. Same bolt pattern.
By the way, the 300C is actually 5x115, not 5x114.3. Most people using 5x114.3 wheels on these cars are technically getting it wrong!

Does this mean that one can put the 5 X 114.3 wheels on a 300C but its just not optimal?

Will 5 X 114.3 work on a 300C and what would be the down side of putting a 5 X 114.3 wheel on a 300C when its supposed to be 5 X 115?

Sorry for the questions.

thanks,
Ted

Mark.... I say get these joints!! You can always add black hints around your ride to bring it together. These rims are VERY nice and it is an excellent value. Plus the lip action is amazing!!

I would would cop these in a heatbeat but first I need a body to put it on.

Nice whip Adrian...I was always a fan of your ride!!

Brotha Kimo..yeah, definitely leaning more towards these. Now I just have to follow D2's advice and "photoshop" Adrian's car to green to get a better visual on how they might look on my ride.

JMJ - dont forget that the wheels are also availible in silver, which I have seen on a Imperial Jade GS and it looks really clean! Black is not the only option.

We look forward to earning your business

Yeah man, I remember that, you were scared to go with 19s and look at you now!! LOL The toughest thing with the one piece game is getting everything at once!! This wheel comes VERY VERY close but doesnt come in chrome!!! In due time there will be more choices

I have to agree with your last comment as well. There are many people that simply do not WANT to spend more than "xxx" for a set of wheels/tires, for whatever the reason. At the same time we strive to find suitable alternatives, not just something round and shiny to "pimp yo rizz-zide!!" LOL More to come!!

UPDATE!! New Price!!

Hey Everyone, I got together with our distributer and worked a EVEN BETTER price on this package. Please note the new introductory price:

$2575.00 including TIRES, LUGS, HUBRINGS, MOUNTING, and ROAD-FORCE BALANCING (this is very important as its not just a joe schmoo balancing job)


Also, please be advised that this is a introductory offer and availilbility, market pricing fluctuations, and shipping cost fluctutations can have a impact on pricing.

D2...if you have any pictures off either black or silver on an Imperial Jade, or ever come across some, please feel free to foward them to me. Right now, I cant get the right visual of the black one's on my green car..
