After much hassle, and waiting, my rims/tires came in today, this afternoon. The hassle was I
originally ordered a set of Konig Heliums, and Kumho Ecsta 711 tires, in the first week of March. The wheels arrived to the place I ordered them from about 4 days after the order was placed. I had to wait ANOTHER 3 weeks for the tires, because they were on a huge sale at $28/tire for the common 195/50 "15 size!
So they were in high demand, and for about 2 weeks, NO location of America's Tire Co. had them instock on the southern west coast region. I was told the tires were gonna arrive around the first week in April. So I go in on a monday to check on the staus of them, and I come to find out that the Heliums they had stashed away in the back for my order, had gotten SOLD by some idiot sales person that didn't check why only one set was there, and if it was on hold. My sales rep (who I also used to go to school with way back) had ordered another set that was due to arrive April 15th, when he first found out they got sold, he's the sales manager, and was off on the day they were sold.
Anywho, April 16th came around (the after they were due to re-arrive) and they aren't in yet. I was all like WTF? So my sales rep person called up the regional distro. warehouse to see why they weren't shipped yet, and they tod him that they wouldn't have any of the Heliums in till the end of MAy the earliest! He was all like "this wait is rediculous, let's find you some other rims at the same price..." He said the name Rota, and all that came to my head was
Circuit 8's! That was because they had fitted a sweet black 5th gen Si hatch with a set of black Circuit 8's when I first ordered the Konigs. He told me those were just the ones he was thinking of. He called back the warehouse to confirm if they had any of those they could ship out, and they did!
2 days later, they arrived, and I got them mounted, and here's the pics of how they look on my baby.
And I know I need to lower my car, that's what I'm saving for now, so leave it be! :finger:
On with the pics...
From the driver's front corner angle...
Looking at them straight on!
Let me know how/what you all think of them. Oh, and if you all must know, these wheels weigh 8kg!!! I believe that's around 11.5 pounds perr wheel!
