AME Shallen SX teaser pix!

Just got back from picking these wheels up... Here i am just standing in my living room just staring at these things........... OMG.......... They are simply the most beautiful wheels i have seen ( I am biased because these are my wheels :D)

They are 2 piece forged AME Shallen SX 18x9F and 18x10R in Diamond cut finnish(just like Volk GTP's and Fiske wheels' finnish).... AME wheels are relatively new on North American shores but its the next up and coming thing right now and its starting to come up fast! They come out from the same wheel barrels, same mechanics and same factory as Blitz and Racing Hart wheels in Japan

Once again a HUGE thanks to Rishie at AutoRnD for hooking me up!.... I've dealt with AutoRnD and Rishie (even though i live in Canada) for a few years now for my 8 and my old ride.... and there has NEVER been a disappointment EVER! Prior to ordering these wheels i have been chatting it up with Rish for 2 weeks on and off and being an **** purchaser myself, Rish really took the time to explain everything to me and gave me many suggestions and answers. He stayed up past 2am a couple of nights on AIM just to answer my bloody questions!!!

GREAT customer service GREAT price GREAT product ... AutoRnD + Rishie

Here it is, in all its glory: 18x10R




It sucks because its a national holiday today so all the tire shops are closed, but tires will be mounted tommorrow and i'll be rocking on these babies with pictures to follow! The picture doesnt do the finnish on the wheels justice!... The diamond cut finnish is amazing, its kinda like a lightly brushed bright silver and it deflects light into its different color spectrum!... its CRAZY!

Thank you Vince. We much appreciate your recognition of the product's quality. Can't wait to see them on the 8. I think i'm gonna change mine up too. I got the AME Circlar Spec r but want to see what the 19" CX's look like with super phat *** lip.
