Default New Wheels Showed up WORK FTW

Few months of waiting and my wheels showed up today. They were ordered for my FD project, which is still going to be awhile. I thought about trying them on the 8 but after seeing the wheel, I'm pretty sure they won't fit.

Work Meister 3 piece
18x10 fronts
18x11 rears

Those are exactly the wheels I want right size and everything, absolute favorite wheels of all time. I was thinking WMB though, but thats even more $$$. Congrats on the new wheels they look great. What are the offsets? What sort of fenders are you going to be running?

+29 front
+30 rear

Car will have the burnout kit on it. I've been waiting for the wheels to show up so I can order tires and then the body shop can have them when they do the kit so if any tweaking needs to be done they can do it.

Plan is to run probabley a 285 on the front and a 315 on the rear.

that would be cool except the wife and I are leaving tomorrow to stay in a bed and breakfast up in pigeon forge through Monday. We needed to get away for a couple of days and pigeon forge is close enough if something happened at the store.

Oh well, I am there all the time anyway. We are still trying to find employment in the Nooga, but the money isn't right yet.

no sorry never did, in fact they are now up for sale. Due to some personal issues and the economy falling like it did there for several months the money is just not there for me to get rolling on things like I thought. Check the for sale section if anyone is interested, $2700 + shipping (no idea on shipping costs its 4 boxes), local pickup is prefered and available. Several people can vouch for me as far as trustworthiness and all that jazz.
