Yeah I did, Steve.  They don't have the ICW Racing wheels that I like though.  They do have an Enkei rim that I like but I like the ICW Racing one better...

Ok, new dilemma...  Now that I actually have the money to spend on some rims, I'm rim shopping again.  I bookmarked a LOT of websites when I was shopping before.  The rim below is the one that I like the most so far.  I'm about to call the vendor to get the weight of it and the offset.  Any thoughts on this rim would be greatly appreciated.

sexy yes... they are very attractive rims but i could not imagine cleaning them... but if Rejex works as good as you say it might just be acceptable.

Fancy!  Too much space to clean for me, but hey, I only wash/wax my car 2-3 times a year and the wheels have only been scrubbed once in 14 months!  (Probably shouldn't have admitted to that...  Oh well...)

I have been searching for rims too. A friend recommended BOSS/high-dust 4x4 on Virginia beach Blvd. The one next to Joes rims. I went by and saw Dave. I'm impressed. He said he can order anything I want. Any kind of rim! And his price was right too. You should check it out. They got books and books of chrome rims.

Ok, so how about these by Enkei?  They weigh 17.5 pounds as a 17 x 7

Hey Don,

 The wheel on this link looks just like that one except that the center is black.  Now that we know the name/brand of it, it can probably be found online in chrome if that's what you want.  icon_mrgreen

This is the wheel that Don is looking for.
