(Ok. I went looking. ~$265? How much is reasonable to install?)
I have stated before:
I AM a poser. I don't race. I do however like to look good. Or at least drive a CAR that looks good. With my wife. She looks good!
LMK?
Thanks, Max

I went with the ST 1's 'cause I saw them on SilverFox's SRT and liked them. Then I saw a very similar wheel on some M5 BMW while watching a Saturday morning SpeedTV race show. I was hooked.
Don't rush, the ones you really like you'll probably find while driving around!
Thanks, Max

thanks for the feeedback. I don't know if I'll do it, but I can handle tools with the rest. Spring Compessors? Do you have to drop the suspension?
I'll go take a search for the how-tos. Thanks again.

No flack here. I've been wanting to get new rims for the wife's xfire and have had trouble deciding. Those might just be the ones.

Flak, young man?! Not from us!
The whole set-up looks good & you can never go wrong with painting the calipers!
Good job. Max!!!

When I put Rotex Gold pads on the front I also replaced the rotors with a pair of drilled/slotted DiscItalia. About 2500 miles ago and never a sound from the brakes. Still look pretty good to but you can't really see them through the stock wheels(Limited)
