    New Fuel Wheels

    Was browsing through my 4wheeler mag and came across some nice wheels. They come in 17x8.5 with 5" backspace which is a nice fit for us WK/XK guys

    D551 and D552

    I like them too. My problem is I like too many wheels, its hard for me to keep one set for longer than a year! lol

    I think the top ones would look great on my XK, but then i'll need to move my red accents to another part of the XK to keep some "color" otherwise I feel like im living in Pleasantville!

    They would look real nice, I like the tops to and I also have a wheel fetish, wait to you the 240 wheels when Im done, I wish the XK was this cheap to mod!

    Have you got any hits on your current ones

    They're a bit on the expensive side at $240/wheel (though ebay has a set of 4 for $1000 shipped.....or less depending on the "offer" theyd accept).

    They're brand new so I expect the price to drop

    If I didn't just have a talk with my wife about an hour ago about how we need to conserve some money because im being furloughed and she's losing a paycheck from not enough sick-leave at work..... i'd be tempted to make an offer to see if I could get a set for $850 shipped. I actually had it typed in but was afraid they'd accept the offer!
