Well I'm officially a "wheel whore" now, 3rd set of aftermarket rims in THREE years. Lets take a look back shall we... Spring of 2001 w/ 17" Millie Miglia Cellos wrapped in Nitto Extreme 450's   Then the FSVT came out and I had to have those rims and besides, they should've been on our car in the first place, right?! Spring of 2002 w/ 17" FSVT rims wrapped in BFG KDW's   The FSVT set up lasted all the way till, well, 2 days ago when I added my current set up, but before I show you that, check out the other mod I made, BIG improvement!     Incase you don't know what I'm showing you here I'll tell you. When the car was in the bodyshop being repaired I had them pop out the Merc logo. I used the old SVT sticker I had made to "tie me over" till I came up with something else. What I found was this DOT-approved sticker that was reflective like the reflector and just cut it down to size  It looks even better in person IMO, but now thats all done! I ordered the same SVT logo I have in the front (1994-95 Cobra/Lightning) for replacement of the one that came on our cars in the rear, so thats going to be next. So without any further to do, heres my THIRD set of aftermarket rims in THREE years, Spring of 2004 w/ 17" BBS wrapped in the new Goodyear Eagle F1's. Also included in the pics are my new and improved stripes that were made wider, by 3/4" inwards and darker using a nice metallic-like vinyl, enjoy

Yeah, we came up with a deal and I pulled the trigger on it  I'm very happy with the look of the car now, has that BMW-look to it, very European They're going to be a little harder to clean as far as getting inside where all the brake dust gets, but they're not too bad though. I think the thing I like the most about them, besides the design, is the fact they have a recessed lip like a RWD cars wheels, very nice!

Damn you Roger! I'm liking your car, more and more. I think the reflective tape looks really good. Can you take a nightime shot of the rear?

That is looking really good! I think I need a rear taillight assembly from a Mystique and do your little sticker deal!

You sir are in desperate need of a Mirko. I think that'd finish your car right up. Perfect.

Nice choice of wheels. Also I must say the larger stripes do look much better. Very creative with the reflective tape.

I think he took one look at my car and said "what a POS, but those rims are sweet!" Good idea on getting the BBS, I love those rims!
