Actually these are my second set of rims that I bought for 70 bucks because I can't really afford rims that cost around a grand. My car originally had Egleone6's rims that are posted above and I personally just hate those and since I got the car I always wanted to take them off, but I'm not downing people who sport those. Anyway, I was simply joking with boosting98 but I know what you mean about living in Illinois especially around St. Louis because they throw down a butt load of salt in the winter. I've actually thought about putting the old rims back on in the winter because of it.....
