Default Wheels FINALLY here (pics)

So......I ordered RUFF 278's back on 10-21. because of finish issues, they have put a hold on selling the wheels temporarily. So I decided to go with the Silver Finish 279's. Its gonna be after the 1st before I can get them mounted (X-mas and bills)

Now that I have them....Im not sure how they will look with Pearl Paint. Im going to go ahead and mount them.....and If I dont like them, Ill just put them on Ebay and order the Stern ST-1 Face III's

Oh.......and I installed Sirius. Once I get the Clean Sweep, Ill hard wire it into the car.

what's that run? I need to get my lips taken care of...rims are a pain sometimes, they need to be cleaned almost daily and I certainly don't have that kind of time.

I was looking at these a while back, there's a seller on ebay who is actually in my area so I drove to his shop to see the wheels in person. The spoke design didn't allow for BBK clearance, so for me I had to go with another rim set-up. Wheels look good though, I just don't know how well that finish will hold up over time.

I was quoted $300 for four wheels mounting and balancing also included in that price. I think the rears were $75 each and fronts $50 each.
