Got the SS 10 spokes put on

Over the weekend I got my SS 10 spokes put on finally. They are mounted on Kuhmo Ecsta 712s (27540R17). The rims only had less then a 1000 miles from the previous owner and they are immaculate, not a scratch or blemish anywhere. I know they aren't chrome Z06s or TT2s, but they are still a huge improvement over my brake stained, curb rashed 16X8 "fat spokes."






I know the pics aren't the best, but you get the point.
And for those that say Kuhmos don't get good dry weather traction, I'm not worried, I picked these up today.

Looks good. Those 10 spokes are always a good cheap improvement over stock.

Looks good. Now don't go messin' 'em up by painting the spokes black.

Yeah, I got them for 300 bucks so I say it was a pretty good improvement for not alot of money. I won't be painting them black either, I'm happy with them just the way they are.

Same here, I was never a big fan of them either at first. Then they started to grow on me and I started looking all over the place for a set.

Yeah, I think I got them back in October. I finally got around to putting them on now.

I got them for 300 bucks from a board member. He lived about a couple hours away so I made the trip and picked them up. I would say it was a pretty good deal considering they had less then a 1000 miles on them without a single scratch, stain, or blemish.

When you have chrome Z06s, the old stock "junk" doesn't matter anymore.
