Holy @!#$ these rims still exist?

For the record I bought those rims brand new from WheelMax (Exel RS-GT's) and my car had them on it @ the 2004 bash. I wanted them after seeing Derek Fetter's Sunfire with them and had originally purchased them for my '96 Z24 I had bought from Brandon Fetter. Over that winter though I sold it and purchased my '01.

LOL! Nostalgic.

Had many experiences that one year with them.

-friend backing my car out of driveway when I wasn't around for the J-BOM BBQ and putting a deep 2" curb into the lip of one, pissed at him
-hungover as hell driving home from the bash, sleep deprived, lightly curbing one at a toll booth and being pissed at myself
-having an acorn/hex style lug nut split and chiseling the @!#$ of it, & surrounding rim, also being pissed at lug nut

Then came time to sell them.

I was trying to remember who I got them off of but that's taken care of.....I'd like to add I sold those rims to a buddy to put on his Black turbo pt cruiser...then he totalled it and I got the rims back.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Also thought ir was neat to see the purchase order of the wheels. For them I plan on trying one other color before I decide if I will be keeping them black or not.

Also had my turbo take. Pool on me. The exhaust turbine end up sheering off. So it dumped.a.ton of oil and antifreeze out the xhaust. Good part I was able.to pick another turbo up in columbus at 1am in the morning and get it installed so.I can get it tuned today. And again thanks guys.

unfortantly this thing is back down again. looks like when the turbo went out it took out the engine too. sucks but if i can get my supercharger sold off, then i will line up another motor.
