Default Update: Oldies but Goodies...

Even with rising gas prices, I decided to mount on some 20" chrome Zauber Gettins. I know these wheels are old school, but they are one of my favorites! Ever since I saw them on Adrian's (BlueLex) car, I knew I had to have them one day. I have been looking around for a very long time trying to find these wheels. The wheels are by no means perfect. I would love to refinish all the wheels but it's too much $$$. It's ok though since the GS is my daily driver. I actually just recently had one wheel repaired and rechromed (waited 4 weeks and $450 later). The rears seem to be a more aggressive than the fronts so I've been debating whether to flush the fronts with spacers. I kind of like the conservative offsets in the front so far though (no rubbing, even on U-turns). My last semi-aggressive front set-up cost me over $600 (ruined Falken, ruined fender, repaint) to fix.

I finally washed her after 2 months.

Here are the new photos for your viewing pleasure....

car looks good, i see you're from 408, i'll keep an eye out! Oh yeah, i noticed that in your sig you had a stock wing and now its a lip spoiler. Just wondering did you get it shaved? if so, where? i'm trying to find a reputable shop in san jose that'll do it without charging me a grip.

Yeah... just holla! I had the stock spoiler holes welded and repainted for about $550 I think. I took it to Kreative Customs off of Almaden Exp. The owner George does excellent work, but I don't think he is around there anymore.
