I like the Niche Apex in silver.
The wheels are fine.. Balanced perfect with minimal weights. MHT makes wheels for a lot of other name brands so its a good quality wheel. I know a few guys in NYC running Niche wheels with stretched tires on them and they hold up fine.

Thanks.. I wanted the 87's but wanted to be different at the same time so I waited for these to finally hit the east coast.

Nice looking set of wheels to transform the X. I like the look, even though I'm "wheels with lip" kinda guy.

Those wheels complement the ride very well. Nicely done!
Excuse my asking: What is (are) the advantage(s) of the "X" pipe? What will this accomplish?

Thanks

Thanks and thanks to everyone as well. It will just let the motor run a bit better. On V8 motors its a better flow to cross the exhaust gas's , gives you better top end and a better feel in low end. Now if you get any true hp gains I can't say but my MPG is a bit better ( if you can keep your foot off the loud peddle ) its like getting rid of your Catalytic converters almost without all the extra emissions.

Anyone feel free to better explain if you like.
