Default Hope i dont jinx it... new wheels to be

my car should be out of the paint shop soon ( i hope). the guy has had my car for two months it seems a little long for a paint job,but anyways...... the is going to be painted sonic blue and the wheels im getting hopefully are these. they are saleen sc wheels 17x10 rears and 17x8 fronts.











i think i might need some 1/4 spacers so i wont have rubbing issues or take of the quad shock. not sure yet

this guy is giving me a deal on the wheels with brand new tires. simotimos (SP?) 275/40/17 and khumos 235/40/17 up front... i wonder if chrome plating is expensive?
