I can't wait to put them on! Come on weather!!!! Side note, these are three peice wheels, the rivets are real
I will be taking the rubber off of these and wrapping them in new tires I have had set a side for a while now. Two of the tires have tons of tread left if anyone is in need of them, otherwise I was just going to trade them in at Performance for the labor of installing the new tires. I will also be installing new TPMS sensors and these wheels currently have some tuner valve stems that I won't need anymore.

What wheels are those? I can't quite make out the name on the spokes. Offset?

I think those are Racing Hearts. But I don't recognize them.
Pretty cool wheels. Although, for whatever reason, I don't like when the wheel covers up the lug nuts.

They're 18" Racing Hart CR's. 44mm off set but I can stagger them I see fit. Yay 3 peice!
As for the center caps covering up the lugs, I can understand that but these wheels are universal 5 lug and some 4's, I don't want all of those holes showing.

Thanks
Hey I am going to put my tuner valve stems up on craigslist. Anyone know if they are worth anything? I just don't need them because of the TPMS sensors.

Minus the really ugly kit and the fact that my car is red, this is what an 8 looks like with these wheels.

Cool, I like 'em. It'll be cool to actually see them on your car though. That RB kit is really ugly.

Yeah that RB kits is truly heinous but I couldn't get passed how good those wheels looked on an 8 and I had to find them. God I love the internet, they have been out of production for over 2 years now and usually go for about $2400. I got them slightly used for $600.
Figure I'll have them on my car in a couple of weeks, when I feel more confident it isn't going to snow much more, the performance tires I have would turn my car into a sled in the snow. It's killing me too, I so want to put them on!

Those looke really nice.
That kit doesn't do much to help it though.The R-Magic kit kinda looks like a snake too. Very strange.

Wheels do look good, but I'm in the monority. I think the kit looks decent.
