That's what I thought, but the decals that came in the box are all CE28 (not that I used them).

Wheels are 17lbs, as are the tires. 34 lbs a corner.
Here's some help





All you have to do is....once uploaded.......right click and copy "image location" Then click on the yellow insert image link about the area for typing and paste the url

Good Luck

Two questions for Kalbone, what offset is this and what size tires? I'm interested in getting some.

LE28's are gunmetal. You can custom order CE28's in multiple colors like black and the funky blue (even seen black with red)

Thanks much for the image help, smokey4. I live in the Mac world, and don't have right click. What I tried to do was go to the gallery, control-copy the url and paste it in after hitting the image button, which works w/ the link button but not w/ the image button. Any OS X Mac users out there who can advise??

To get right-click functionality on a Mac, all you have to do is hold the "control" key whilst clicking on the image.
In the floating window that appears, choose "copy image address".
Then simply paste it into your post, including the [img] tags at either end.

That's how I got the image to appear below...

Actually, it is lowered (H-sport springs). I was hoping for more of a drop than these springs provided. I guess coilovers are next.
