I actually bought a set of each! One will go on the Roadster and the other on the 510. I also have a pair of 13X8 in black (too bad they are not 14's).
Victor you need to do a photo exhibit of all your wheels. I still want to see the Roadster with the SSR's. I have a pair of Starsharks that are nicely refurbished. I am looking for some Cosmics for my VW (just encase there are some out there....).

No! Not the meshes and, Which car could I possibly fit those 10'' M.F.ers on? :roll:

These are what I bought - 14 X5.5 @+13 is a very friendly roadster and 510 fit. And at 10.2lbs a piece, good spicey driving. They're 2 piece. I already took them apart for deep cleaning and painting.

I realize that 10" are a little too wide for our cars (one can hope can't they?).

You got a smoking deal on those Revolutions...wish I paid that for mine..BTW I had to have my front wheels opened-up at my friend's machine shop on his lathe, as the front hubs are large in outer dia than the opening in the wheels..just and FYI.

the seller did mention this to me. Unfortunately there has been a problem with delivery of the rims. Seems the UPS driver left a note on the door saying he left the rims at the back door. I was tracking the parcels (4 boxes since i got 2 complete sets) and saw they were delivered. When I went by the house they weren't there!! This is the second time I have had this happen. $ years ago the UPS driver thought it would be okay to leave a 1960 NOS VW panel door and a 1999 Ducati 996 frame at the FRONT door. Of course someone helped themselves to them. My neighbourhood is okay usually but someone cruising around sees the UPS guy drop stuff off at a door and leave them there is just too big of an invitation. Hopefully things get worked out.

Do you have a photo of all your wheels lined up? I'm sure it takes quite a large storage area. Do you have a tire mounting machine and swap wheels and tires every week?
