Very nice, Travis!!! I like them alot! :thumbup:

(side note): I was at a business function today and they had a team of waiters/waitressess that were serving food while the presentation went on. There was guy in his mid 40's that reminded me so much of you (i.e. THE haircut) :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Here is this great presentation, with a lot of valuable information, and all I am thinking about is Travis' haircut. :rofl:

[rumratt]

I'd look for something with a lower profile tire.

:eek:

The picture was loading slowly, and I had a bad feeling I was going to see something related to strap-ons instead. :rofl:

Sheesh, with all that airbrushing, she could look like Phyllis Diller and we'd never know! :rofl:

[Raffi]

They look great on the MB, don't know what they'd look like on your BMW though.

[tgravo2]

I wish I knew. They are 7 spoke just like my stock wheels, so I'm guessing they would look ok.

Speaking of pics, when are you going to show some recent pics of yourself Melissa?

I mean you have been at this workout thing for MONTHS now (maybe over a year?). I bet the results are dramatic.

Whaddya say?

[Melissa]

I'm not sure that this is what you're hoping for but..

Taken at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Bodybuilding Expo this past weekend. I'm with my favorite fitness babe, Monica Brant.

Sorry Travis..it's not like you've never jacked any threads before. :p

Of course, but I can tell the difference in your face from the lone pic you posted long ago with your hubby. You stated once you are down about 30 lbs? Have you hit your target weight?

[TD]

Okay, my $0.02.

The rims look good except they are too big. Get them in 17s (with the corresponding reasonably-sized sidewall) and they'd look good. I am indifferent on the bolts.

However, all of the women pictured in this thread look so fake that they look nasty. Really, just gross. Freakish. And freakish is certainly not hot. There is no way in hell that 3rd thumb would stay up for any of these women. : puke:

Thanks, Ryan! Still losing, focusing more on body fat % than weight right now. And increasing my lifts at the gym. After seeing a girl bench 600lbs this weekend, I feel like a prissy girly. :p But, she wasn't...um...very feminine, so I feel better.

I would agree the first pic of her is an airbrushed disaster, that pic aside, she is still beautiful. Are you saying Carmen is nasty and gross?

Anyone who would f*ck Dennis Rodman IS gross.

But, actually, I have honestly never though of her as attractive.

And, damn, does she look fake.

[TD]

I'm not fake.
I wasn't including YOUR pic. Sorry. I must have started typing before you posted but not actually posted until after you.

However, I will say that the fitness look isn't for me. That woman could kick my ass.

how much do these wheels cost?

No, no, NO!!!




Sorry, I am calm now.

These wheels (7 spoke "bolt ons") on the '03 C class are one of the reasons for my not replacing my '99 MBZ with a newer C'er last year-- too :bling:. I believe they have since replaced them on the MBZ C sport package with more suitable 5 spoker AMG classic monobloc style wheels.

Of course, YMMV but IIRC they really appealed to a (ahem) younger set.

I like them, they look very agressive in that fittament. Bolts are all good for me.

[tgravo2]

travis,

how much do these wheels cost?I have to get the bolts because it's the only way they come. They are 3-piece forged

aty, they are about $1000 a piece

I'm still undecided if I will get them because there are some Nigerians looking to write me a check for my car and I can make some $$. Wierd story

[nate]

When do you turn 21, Travis?

way too much

who makes them? how much do they weigh?

I think they are worth it, they are lighter than my stock wheels, they weigh 23 lbs a piece and are made by iforged

4 months

Which wheels are 23 lbs, the ones in this thread, or your stock wheels? :confused:

They're worth it for $4K!? Ford dealers must pay their employees well. :yikes:

[elbert]

For the $1k a rim price range, I'd rather get HRE's (blingy performance) or Kinesis (ugly-but-functional esthetic). Both make lightweight but strong wheels with too many options.

[wrwicky]

How about SSR GT7s? Seven spokes, no bolts, forged(ish), should be same or lighter than either wheel and just under $500 in silver or grey with machined lip at the rack. Unfortunately smallest size right now is 18x8.5 et 42, more sizes should be out there soon.
