Looks great, the font looks tucked, any rubbing?

I think 20" wheels are too big...but those are very attractive.

believe me....i LOVE Work wheels as well. i just couldnt get myself to buy a set of wheels ive seen on multiple different vehicles, let alone 3GS's!! I try to be different. thanks for the words!

Got the TSIB for the "Low brake dust pads" about a year ago. By far the best mod to the car ive done yet.....and free too!!! Brake dust is minimal. But of coarse i carry a cloth in the trunk anyway.

Nope. Down here in So*Cal. the shop i got the wheels at is called Dubz Direct in Brea,CA. the pics are from there and also my pad.

although possible i guess.....not likely. Not on CL it seems, but 3pc wheels are quite common on other high-end vehicles.

Both the front and rear have no fender gap whatsoever. and probly are just a little tucked in the front.

And no Rubbing at all!!! thanks God. i tried to spend triple the time doing research to ensure the correct fitment. It worked and im glad i didnt rush it!
