At least I still have Fiske and Champion to pick from yet. Still got my Champion 18 x 8/10’s forged 3 piece wheels here. $6K worth of wheels I don’t have a car to put them on right now… For reference folks…Jesse’s K58’s are on the Ferrari F40 and Ultima GTR in those pictures…My beloved K28’s are on the White Porsche GT-1 and 993 TT. Always wanted a set of those and could never afford them. …and sold out to Lexani of all companies??? so fucking sad :idiots ---
