I'm smellin' some 18" VX-6's in Hyperblack/silver in my future if they are. Just gotta knock somebody off so I can afford them. Also, what about hub-centric rings? Or are these properly fitted for the 'tour/Cougar? 2001 ATX V6 Dark Shadow Grey Merc Cougar(Sport Pkg, ABS, traction control and sunroof )

The Hyper Black and Hyper Silver are available for $20 more each wheel, = $80 more for the set. Thanks Eric FlechaAutoSports

But other than that, thanks to an investment check from my dear mother who told me to finish my car for show, you can put me down for a set of 18" VX-6's, unless my friend's buddy at Velox hooks me up instead. Also, does the gunmetal have a polished lip, or is it just the black that has the polished lip? Any in-person pics of a gunmetal? 2001 ATX V6 Dark Shadow Grey Merc Cougar(Sport Pkg, ABS, traction control and sunroof )

Can you get them for us? If not, do you know where we can get them? How long will shipping take once payment is received? And while this is a really dumb question, are the tires spin balanced to the wheels? Do you put the wheel weights on the inside, so they don't stick out all ugly like? Any other choice of tire for the 18", or does that change price, and by how much? Sorry for my reply givin' ya a Like I said, I'll let you know come tuesday if I'm getting a hookup from a buddy or not. 2001 ATX V6 Dark Shadow Grey Merc Cougar(Sport Pkg, ABS, traction control and sunroof )

Anytime you want the wheels just send the money to eric@ritterpenusa.com PAYPAL: IF YOU ARE USING A CREDIT CARD TO PAY USING PAYPAL ADD 2.9% TO THE TOTAL. PAYPAL CRAP SORRY. The wheels are professionaly balanced with the weights all on the inside, don't worry that pretty deep lip will not be hurt. Other tires are available just let me know what brand and I'll let you know if it's more or less. Thanks, Eric

Uses Digital Signal Processing to achieve a good balance. www.hunterengineering.com Thanks Eric FlechaAutoSports
