$855 each? Pardon me while I feel sick to my stomach...

Use that 4x855 and youre getting close to a supercharger

But yes they certainly are nice rims, with money disregarded.

Pretty nice lookin. If theyre quality built and forged then thats a decent price, but if theyre not thats too much. I dont know anything about American Racing so I couldnt tell you, sorry... and guys, hate to break it to ya, but nice wheels arent cheap.

oops, they must have upped the price since the last time i checked, i could swear that they were reasonable when i first saw them. there's no way i'm getting those.


that said, any suggestions? i like the look of my stock fanblades, they're just a little to plain. not to mention i tore up two of them on curbs.

Speaking of rims... What's the biggest wheel/tire combo I can put on an '06 Pony without having to mess with the suspension?
