Talking My first set of wheels ever!!!!

My 240 finally got his first set of aftermarket wheels ever.....since 1989...Here is my story: Coming back from playing paintball I decided to stop by a rim shop about an hour from my house, (I was thinking about buying on the internet thinking that I was gonna get a better deal...) Well the guy start showing his wheels, I wanted good offset, size 15-17's, something like spokes or old school looks, no need for spacers and 4 lugs...very unique as you can see. Well he is got this wheels that he bought with an inventory from another store that went out of businness. They are like 5 years old or more, the rims are brand new but thats how long ago this model came out. I fell in love with the rims and after he told me how much was going to cost me ($574.00) I said: "I will be right back with the money." Everything included even the tires.... They are even with the fender well and give a nice "settle down" look to the car. Im not lowering the car anymore, if that was the case maybe I will need to roll the fenders but Im keeping it this way and not mess with it. Yeah! old school rules!!!

SOrry about the long story, just to let you know that sometimes is worth to take your time and find good deals.....

Oh yeah the rims are "APOLLO"'s (????) and they are made in Austria, I seen this type before with different names but Im not sure who the main manufacturer for this type is .......

They would look sweeter without the centercaps.
