Default winter rims (teaser pics)

I realize that posting teaser pics is not too common in the LS forum, and sorry if I offend anyone. Also, to mods, if this is not the appropriate place for such post, please move it to the appropriate forum. Thanks.

Anyway, I just received my rims, thanks to William (GS4Will). I was hoping that these would have arrived earlier. Here's the pics.

Default second pics...

I realize these are in German, but I'm sure you all can guess pretty much what it says. Comments ? Opinions ? Should I just continue with the actual rims picture ?

Nice Wald Rims. Its either Streifen, Duchatlet, or exchange About 1.25 inch lip up front and 2inch lip in the rear, not bad

Default some of you may be a little disappointed

Here's the front rims, nothing special on the lip department. Kissable, but nothing too sexy
Size: 20 x 9, offset +37.

Due to the simple/clean look of the wheel, something subtle...like Auto Couture, Lsportline, Evolution, and obviously WALD.

Can someone pls tell me why WALD is using german?

Word on the boxes:
Felgendurchmesser = size of wheel
Einpreßtiefe = offset
Leichtmetallrad = alloy wheels

I mean, as far as I know WALD is a japanese company. And WALD USA is an independent entity.
So why do they use german?

The sig of WALD for example:

The words on the bottom are german.
Sportliche Ausrüstung = sporting equipment
The letters GmbH stands for Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung = limited company

What is this all about? Anybody knows?

BTW: Nice wheels!
