Default MY SGM with 19" Diamond Black BBS RS-GT

Finally after waiting since March I have my wheels/tires on. I also went with the Avon's, but my wheels are 8.5's all around. The 9.5's were on a giagantic backorder here at work and I wasn't going to wait any longer to get these things on. Springs are next, but after the BBS vampire sucked me dry it will be a while before those get installed. Here are a few quick pics before the nasty storm rolls in. I'll post better ones when the weather clears.

Looking good dnszoom! Seems we are the only two with these wheels right now.

without question you and dnszoom have great wheels. Oh my, I still would take them anyday. $$$

Honestly, I thing the staggered setup look just a little better...but like you said too much wait. Backorder sucks.
Will you be able to rotate tires now?
Are you going with the pro-kit?

Damn that SGM is clean! Great job

Hehe, very nice! The Diamond Black finish is awesome!

I have my springs on order and am deciding on an exhaust and front lip. Bizzaro world twins!

Yeah, I got the first Eibach order once they came out. Been in my garage since I got the car in March. With the boat and stuff its been hectic this year, especially with mods. I'm running the 225/255 combo and the Avon's are asymmetrical so they can be rotated left/right w/out dismounting. Would have liked the little bigger lip in the rear also but oh well. Another 4 month wait and the possibility of getting yet another pair that didn't match in color didn't warrant it.

Bizzaro world rules!!!

Very nice. It's always nice to see what my SGM would look like with a new set of shoes.

A bit off topic but would the Tanabe system in its shipped packaging fit in the trunk of the IS?

Out of the box it fits in the trunk with room to spare. In the box no way, too large. Comes in two pieces, but the oe system is one large mass of metal. I had to put the oe in my wife's Cherokee to take back home.
