My new Rims (updated 5/15/06, finished), Mille Miglia HT3 17x8 with 35mm+ offset Options

[devilsden97]

Yeah so i got them from tirerack.com for $99 a piece, when they originally went for $238. Close out rims. Cost me a total of $447, with shipping, no tires as of yet. (make suggestions) Here is a pic of them.

(More pics when i get them mounted, and then on the car.)

(kinda having an oil leak issue, so maybe ordering rims at this time was a rash decision, but oh well.)


edit: also ordered sportline lowering springs, and the camber adjustments for both front and back.

ok heres some fun news! the shop that is putting in my springs called me about a half hour ago. Some linkage between my swayarms and my struts were broken in the back, and its gonna cost me $210 in parts to fix it. Doing some math, with help from someone else (cuz i couldnt bear to type it all into the calculator) the running total thus far is $1688.25 and that doesnt include there labor charge, which i dont know what it will be yet, and a $100 alignment. I figure $2,000 in the end. all to lower the car 1.5inches all around and put some rims on it....yeah not worth it, this will be my last mod, for a while.

edit: shop called, all installed, but no alignment Cost: $480 Total so Far: $2,168.50

And I called a place that does the alignments for lowered cars....$80 per hour, and he estimates it will take 3 hours. And I couldnt get an appointment till MAY 2nd! OMG This is such a hassle.

That sucks! so you are to drive about without an alignment?

I know how that whole money bit goes. I already have... umm.. -opens the calculator- about 1700 sunk into Suspension.
