aye you bought motegis, not my favorite rim... they look hot as hell on the latest Tiburons though but I just don't know how they would look on our RD's and if you ask me RD and GK have two very different appeals. please post up some photos soon, and good luck with the swap!

Ha, too much. About $1450 CDN (about 1250 USD smile.gif). Includes: shipping, taxes, mounting & balancing, & installation kit. I couldn't order from a USA site as it would most likely cost too much in import charges.
