PS: I'm currently uploading pics to my flickr account and then I'm going to add it to this site. I'm currently rolling on 17" evo enkeis bc the Chikara LS1 rims I had broke on me!

) we dont have the hawaiian weather in michigan
Anyways, my car will look similar to yours, not copying. we just have the same taste.

*WARNING* BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE LOOKING INTO PURCHASING CHIKARA LS1 RIMS! I lost control of my car because the rims are defective and one of them broke on me! Just thought I'd share my story so some of you guys might not end up in my situation.
I was driving in a tunnel and suddenly my car started swerving. I was afraid that one of my tires blew out, but after I finally came to a stop I found that my rim broke on me and separated from my tire. Thank God for the Anti-Slip function on our cars... it helped me control the car with minimal damage & I suprisingly didn't crash into any walls. I tried contacting the company 88Rotors and they haven't taken responsibility. They told me that they haven't seen anything like this happen. I had to replace my rear camber arms and also my rear struts.
Rim separated form tire and was still attached to wheel studs:

This is how my tire ended up:

*Currenly rolling on some 17" Evo Enkeis LOL... got them for a good deal and in good shape. Hopefully I'll be able to get better rims soon! These don't look so bad on the car...

I'm just glad that I'm safe and that there wasn't too much damage to my car!
Sorry couldn't get the images to load so I just added the links

wooooww! Crazy! At least you're ok. Well now you actually have a 2 piece wheel
To give you a heads up CrazyAsngirl, I will be selling my wheels for cheap. They are JLB apollos 19x8.5/9.5 +20 offset all around with Nexen 235F/245R/35/19s. They only have 1,000-2,000 miles on them and I have an extra set of tires to go with it. PM me if you're interested
