My new shoes...

first off i would like to give a huge thank you to the folks at wheeldude and Tommy in particular for the amazing service that i got since they did bend over backwards helping me with some "issues" (like paying with an international credit card and various other logistics). now to the rims, i have to say that i LOVE them!!!! i would love to lower the car a bit more but it is simply not practical for me here in New England so the mild drop of the swifts will have to do. i was debating for a while (we are talking sleepless nights here folks) between flat black and hyper black and i am very happy with the final choice!!!

Thanks for the pictures I'll be sending these to my web team to get up on our site.! I'm loving the set-up and great choice to go with the Hyper Black.

I really wanted these when I first saw them, but now that the XXR527s are out for about $530 shipped and come in a more agressive 9.75 I can't see paying more for them. I hate that everyone and their brother will be buying them though.

On the positive note... The car looks great and I love the hyperblack.

i was thinking about the XXR's but decided on the rotas because:

1) i love Rota. i had Rota before and was very happy with them.
2) these have a WAY more aggressive design then the 527's (trust me, they are way more aggressive than in these pictures).
3) for me, paying the extra $400 wasn't such a big deal so i would rather go with a company that i know and trust.

I like the rota's more than any of the XXR line of wheels.
