Hey! What's up? I was having computer trouble (it blew up). It's all fixed now, thank goodness I didn't loose any information. Anyhow, if it was on the week-end, it might have been me. Beep me next time. I still haven't seen your ride yet. Hey, did you go to Hamilton meet on Sunday just past? I was going to go, but got tided up at the last moment. Zoom, zoom, out.

Hey Makaveli! How are you? I am fine. Thanks. I don't spend much time on the computer anymore, just too busy with work. I will be posting those pictures again with partial completed aluminium interior. Check it out at 'EXTERIOR / INTERIOR' forum.

znole, I had a look at your pictures in the exterior posting.
Very nice! Those are exactly the rims I'm looking to get. Just wondered what the offset is and are they Tenzo's or copies? I'm assuming those are 17's.

Hey! Those rims are 'shu-4 ' style copies and yes they are 17's. The offset , I believe, is 40 or 42. They are within specs. I love the low profiles, they handle much better than stock ones (no problems with them yet for 2 years and counting).

I'm surprised with the offset you mention. I prefer to get darker rims since my car is silver. Maybe come Spring you might feel like selling those!? jk
I like your side skirts as well...what were they originally off?

I got them from 'Wheels-Direct' in North Toronto. $1700 for everything, mount, dismount, rims, tires, lock nuts, balance, taxes, ect.. Yes, they do come in gun metal with extra $200.
The body-kit came from Grand-Am with some modification.

Is "Wheels Direct" the shop next door to Avante Mazda? The price sounds pretty descent...taxes in even! What is the weight of the rims?
Oh yeah, you bought them a couple years ago...prices could have definitely gone up.
Also meant to ask where you bought the side marker lights? I like the look of those ones.

Well, the price may vary over the years, the best would be checking it out with them straight. I don't know the weight, but I believe it's a little heavier than stock. The exact store location, I don't know, but I think it's around Sheapard & Kennedy area. Their web site may be WWW.WHEELS-DIRECT.COM
I got the side markers for about $20.00 Cdn., now, I have seen them in Canadian-Tire for $17.00 Cdn.. Installation requires drilling and dremelling (about 2 hours for a good job).
Well, well, I just checked the web site and the price is lower now.
