I know bro I saw you post it a while back really excited to see what they'll look like, me and everyone else been waitin for you to mount these bltches for a while now...

I'm assuming these will be your street setup, but what are you gonna use as your drift setup though ?

hey btw, have fun cleaning these fkkin wheels man, lol, I almost wanna whip out the power washer just at the thought of washing my spokes and that space between the lip too, especially yours since it's concave so much space to the end of the lip... they have NOT been easy to clean at all, tell Jojo I want a REFUND ! lol

no no no i wasnt saying buy them just stating that if someone cant afford DPEs they can have practically the same thing for less with the Lussos since you say they are both made by the same people

True. Or you can call MHT Wheels and order direct from them for even less

I was given the runaround for about 7 weeks after specified delivery date, ignored phone calls, lied to me about ready dates.

Upon delivery, the finish of the faces weren't 100% and was told I could get them refinished free of charge. Once I dropped them off to get refinished, I opted to pay extra to get the chrome barrels and brushed faces. I waited almost 2 months to get them back and when I did get them back they weren't 100% true and I had to load an assload of weights on them to balance. Also, one of the lips had a flaw in the chrome...

So they offered to fix all of this. Mind you, I have spent $240 to mount, dismount, mount, dismount and mount the tires out of my pocket due to their problems.

3 months later, I finally am given the go ahead to pick the wheels up and when I showed up after a 2 and a half hour drive, the wheel that had the chrome flaw hadn't been touched. Waited ANOTHER month to get the damn wheel back.

Long story short, out of the 14 months from the time they took my money from me, my wheels were in my possession for only 4 months. And...out of the 4 months, they weren't even 100%.

Needless to say, I will never spend a dime with them again. I had nothing but problems from day one.

Oh god I didn't want to see that. I just sent one of my S20's back to DPE because the powdercoating flaked off with no damage being made to the wheel. The wheels were on my car for 2 weeks before this happened, about 600 miles put on them. If I have to wait that long, I'm going to be pissed since I am selling the wheels whenever it gets back.
