    Yes, you can get lighter 18x8s, but you're in pretty good company at 24lbs. For a few examples, click here, sort by wheel size, then scroll down to page 42.

    Don't get me wrong I am not saying they are crazy heavy, but if weight is a concern, there are much lighter options in the same size. Weight isn't a concern for me on this car.

    Alright, I am no photographer by any means but here is a pic just to show the wheels/painted trim. The car needs a proper drop FOR SURE. These Eibach springs just aren't cutting it. Coilovers have been bumped to the top of the to do list. :)

    Officially parked at SEMA next to M3This' MINI JCW! For those at SEMA, they are parked outside of the entrance to Central Hall, just behind the Car Crazy stage.

    Interesting. Whats the pattern on the roof?

    You do realize we are looking to you for the full SEMA writeup, the cool cars, the hot both babes and the most outrageous new parts.

    LOL, don't expect much coverage out of me. I will be a busy boy this SEMA. :)

    The pattern on the roof is modeled after the Rogue Status clothing "Gun Show" pattern...

    And another shot of the car for good measure, before we cleaned the wheels off...
