Got the wheels today for my 06 Grand Sport wagon.

They are Shuk W21's/2-piece/bright satin w/polished lip
18x7.5
+48mm offset
17lbs.

Got them from Tire Rack.

I'm going to have them installed with the existing 215/45/18 PZero Nero's.

I hate to buy new tires when I've only got 1500 miles on them. I'll see how they look.

I'll post pics when I get them installed.

Now installed

John

Like the looks of those rims.

You may have to get the calipers cleaned up and painted, cause it looks like you may be showing a bit more with these rims.

O, and what color is your car? Looks kinda like a black cherry, or something, from what I can see in the pics. Either that or my monitor is on it's last legs...

Are you sure of the weight? Tirerack is pretty accurate re: the listed weights and they have those particular wheels weighing in at 20.7 (still lightweight in my book).

Damn those are nice. Kinda look like FR500 wheels. I was wondering why you pitched the other wheels.

I'll take them by the P.O. on the way to get them installed.

I might go 18lb, but they don't weigh 21 1/2.

Those are very nice looking wheels. I look forwarded to you getting them mounted and posting pictures to the forum for all to see.
