Sucks the wheels don't come in a Left and Right side configuration. As you see in the pics, the Driver's side of the car, the fins on the wheel rotate in a swept back manner, the ones on the passenger side rotate forward.

As far as the WBK goes I think I am having a change of heart and have decided to go with the Rado kit! It runs between $2100-$2600 for the kit itself. I can do my own body work so I am not worried about putting the kit on.
I have already planned on putting down around $6000 for a custom airbrushed paint job.

The only reason i would go WBK is if my car was paid off fully, and i would be able to ONLY use this car as a SHOW CAR ONLY.. These kits really are not really practicle for everyday use. And those that say they are, HAVE the money to say so, or really dont care. If you do your research you will see, and just look at eh threads, and you will never see them on here long.... makes you wonder.... no offense to those that have them... i save your money and spend it on a turbo...

I'm not sure, but won't those rims make you slower.. Thinking that if you drive foward, and the wind is against the spoke's direction, then wouldn't there be more drag? hmmmm.. I think I analyzed this a little too much.

^ We already found out they were Veilside wheels, the centercap even says VS, plus the VS wheels have 3 bolts in between each "blade" while the Ace Aviator only has 2. I didnt even count how many blades were on each wheel.

some people love them and some hate them!
get in line wanting those because they are discontinued, rare in USA!
