so i lost a center cap on one of my Privat Legende's so i sent an email directly to Konig with some pictures of my car. They sent me 4 for free! There's still some great companies out there that care about their customers

Rear: - 19X9.5 +25 on 255/35R19

Theres only one way to break in a fresh set of tires on a GS400


Whole block was smoked out.

I can already hear the comments! - "MOAR LOW"
Hey Seven,

I just pulled the trigger on wheels / tires. I was just curious, why did you use the same series on front and back, over using a 30 series on the rear to give the same sidewall height...
