^ Did you call him?

Yes I did call and speak to Art....I sent him all the pics...he still needs to see it....The last place in the country that has this wheel in stock I just purchased the LAST one. It's silver..going to have to have it painted to match or may take all 4 and have the centers painted DB to match the car...

BOTTOM line...if you have these wheels..they are rare as hell!!!!!!!!!!!

I will still get to Houston sometime soon and let Art take a look..if anything I will have him repair it and will keep as a backup...

Doubt it, no one in their right mind would build a track car with 19's.

In all honesty...I wasn't really paying attention....you are probably right though.

Edit...did a little search and I think he is on 19's.

Ok let me clarify..those wheels are similar but mine have a gloss black center with the stainless steel polished lip..there are NO MORE available to my knowledge..the ONLY one I could find is the same lip with a silver center...19X9 +25mm..thats for the front.. $579.00 shipped is what the damn thing cost me..

Actually I have no idea why a 19" rim would be bad for tracking, but I road race and have done 3 so far on these wheels...

There was another set that was close but they were 20", used and asking price was like $2500

Well after wrecking one wheel on a 5" rock, scouring the entire country for ONE PIAA 19X9+25 wheel...I found one silver, the LAST one in the country, which sucked because my other 3 were black, I got it, and decided to paint them all to match the car...

I THINK this is the ONLY set of PIAA Super Rozzas in the country that are Daytone blue!








Discount tire replaced the tire under road hazard, then remounting the other front found a bubble on the inside..they replaced that one as well..then come home to put them on and discover a bad wheel bearing. Got a new one at the dealer this morning and put it on...Damn I'm, glad thats all over...
I also decided since the wheels were off to go ahead and flush the entire brake system with ATE Blue brake fluid..
Ready for Texas World Speedway in 3 weeks...

Generally I do not like same color wheels as car. But this is a exception. The polished stainless steel adds just enough bling. Pretty snappy.
