20" 3-peice Modular Concept 01's

Hey all,

I've been searching for some nice 20" wheels for quite some time and had planned on waiting until spring to really start making a decision on budget, style & brand. I didn't think I would be looking at any 3-peice wheels since they are a bit out of my planned budget...

Until I came across these...

Thats the 245/35/20 sitting up front, I've also got one in the trunk and two 275/30/20 in the back seat.

I picked up these Modular Concept 01's of craigslist lastnight. I emailed the company to see if I can verify there authenticity.
http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...T-WHEEL-01.htm

This sites got them for $4,200-lets just say I grabbed them for a small fraction of that.

It is a mild Winter in Ohio and looks to be clear until the weekend so I decided to throw them on for a test fit.




I plan on getting them refinished since the two lips on the passenger side wheels show some curbage, but nothing is bent or cracked.

**I hate when wheels are called rims. I'm not quite sure why, I just despise RIMS.**

Also, I would like to paint them black/silver like these on a Ferrari F430-But not the Red Lip.

Only Black/Silver

Well, I need to refinish the lips since the previous owner had driven them in some salt. The chrome seems to be pitting a bit.

These are only on temporarily until I can get them to the wheel medic. They will be refinished this winter and slapped back on in spring.

I've got a set of Tein 350z S-Tech Springs I plan on putting on this spring to help with the fender gap.

Mind you these wheels+tires cost me as much as a set of rear tires would cost.

I'd say price>everything in this case.

Never said cheap. It was a good deal though.

If I decide I don't like them then I can sell them.
