nothing special, the usual blue, red, gunmetal and black. i believe the bronze come with blue at least thats what evasive told me. said they offer the choice of any color you want when you order through them.

they said the original buyer might have backed out, so my guess if you acted fast you could get them for around 3150-3200. i know its a lot of dough but ive been through a new set of wheels every year ive owned the s2k. its time to pick the right set and stick with it. pick them up if you can, theyd look sick on your BB

It's a wheel that I've seen on the s2k but definitely not in the same size as what this guy has. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the only set in existence.
hmm, for a second i thought you were talking about my Evos haha

^the bronze comes with the black stems as standard, but you can get them in different colors obviously at time of order.

I've had my fair share of wheels. I actually bought a set of 9 +40 Mercury Silver CE28s a week after I got the car but ended up selling them to buy the hardtop. Biggest regret yet. I also almost had a killer deal on some 9 +40 Mercury Silver RE30s but sat around on it too long and they got sold.

and you have the chance to get some gold x9 +35's but you're sitting on that decision

+35 is too much extra work over the +40. I know 5mm doesn't sound like much but it's about the same as fitting the 9.5 +38 rpf1s I had on the last car and I don't feel like going that route. Plus I'm picking about the way it looks and the +35 is just a tad too much poke for me.

The +35 would be fine if the car was just a daily street car that was built for cruising and looks but I also autocross and track the car so I need a setup that lets me drive hard and doesn't rub all day long.
