I'm kind of feeling the SL-15 myself but its hard to make a decision.

Can't wait to see the Milanos on your ride Pete.

I would definately go for the SL-15. It would look nice with 14" brembos up front. The second rim reminds me of a benz.

Dieselman:

That's the way I am leaning as well.

I don't have a big brake kit but have cross-drilled rotors, painted calipers, EBC pads, stainless steel lines etc. I think it should look pretty good with the cross-drilled rotors even though they are only OEM size.

Ted, do you know how many inches is the rear lip? I am getting new wheels when the snow season is over. Before I was stuck between the L-sportline Model 1 and HRE 546, but now since I saw the SL-15, I have to add this to my choices. I never knew choosing rims was so difficult but at least I have a few months to decide. Are there any other wheels you were considering?

the rear lip will vary based on the offset that you choose but he canmake it to suit your taste.

I was looking at like 2.5 " lip in front and 3.5 in the rear.

Wow those SL-3 just blew me away with that kit. Is that the explosion style kit? I am going to get that kit in the spring I think.
Get the SL-3 so hot left me speechless.

Yes, its the Explosion Kit. PHML photoshopped it on my Black GS.

Your sig suggests you already have a kit - looks pretty phat too!

Hi guys... found a site that I think has some pretty good prices on Symbolic wheels.

http://www.emwheels.com/wheels.asp

I've never shopped around for these wheels so I cant compare prices, but $837 seems like a pretty good price for a triple chrome, forged, 20x8.5 kick *** looking wheel

ted, without divulging your quote...are these good prices (on the emwheels site)? Thanks.

Ted,
Gstrance actually photoshopped that kit onto my car. I am still deciding on which way to go, RMM or Exploson. I came to realize they are very similar besides fiberglass and poly but I think I like the Explosion front that much better. Goodluck
