Joe,

The wheels look fantastic on your car! Does anyone have these on a USB?

I would but the tires I ordered have been on B/O since Dec and not expected to be in until mid May. When that day finally arrives I'll be able to take a couple of shots to share.

Well, after a long 5 month wait for the tires, these are finally on the car. Hope you enjoy the pics. Just FYI, but the color is not the silver that come with the rims, its a powdercoat as I wasn't happy with the original silver that came as they looked like the gunmetal color on JoeZs car and I wanted a lighter color for mine. Its a long story.

Anyway, I'd like to thank Joe for sharing his offsets and tire sizes as these are the same and a great fit. I haven't experienced any rubbing but I did raise the back a 1/4" just in case and I had four people in the car last night without issue.

Another great Gehry design. It is amazing how much heat the the panels soak up from the sun, as a matter of fact they warn you of possible burns during the summer. One of my favorite buildings too.

BTW, you car looks great too.
