LOVE the 17's. th rallies look good but you can add more distinct personality to your ride when you venture away from the norm. and those 17's are a great style, too. ill say it again, I LOVE THE 17'S ON YOUR RIDE!

Re: Tried on a new pair of shoes today!!!

The wheels are Wheel Vintiques Billet Cruzers. The most recent pricing I have found on them in these sizes was floating around $550 per wheel. Then you have to figure in another $70 per wheel for the knock offs due to the standard cap not clearing the front hubs. When I bought these they were considerably cheaper (around 330-340ish per wheel), I have no idea what has driven the price so much higher. They are basicly a Halibrand copy. Halibrands are now available in 17s but are cast instead of being a forged billet like the Cruzers. Here's a couple more pics I took that I liked.







And back on my own!
