I'm doing 17" either White or polished rota's on my SSM. Splurging on Neo Chrome Kics lugs though!

^^ cant you polish it yourself?!

strip the clear coat, wet sand(low grit-high grit) then buff it with good metal polish and clear coat and you can bake it in the sun....thats like a good 30-40bucks(unless you can get the paint stripper from a homie) and like 3hours for each wheel. for some shinny ass wheels. shit, i would do it myself if i had the time and some OEM stockers.

i already asked him for how much he can get them for but he wasnt responded back yet about the pricing. i can get them from a friend that works has just tires for 400 including mount and balance, 360 for the tires, and 10 for mount and balance each wheel.

Don't call them, they have better deals listed on ebay. What kind are you looking for? I got my ecstas when they had a special for 290 shipped. it's 324 now but they have different specials all the time..They have Nitto NT NeoGen ZR Tire 40R17 R17 40R for 300 for a set of 4 shipped?
