very nice...finally huh? You've been very patient. They will look great. You did a nice job finding something like your previous style. I know a full face wheel is what you like (I prefer open or spiders) and these have got to be some of the best looking full face wheels I've ever seen. Congrats! Now get to work and get them on so we can see some pics!!!!

Quick shot on your way home ? Dude, the detail on that shot is tooo good, cant be a mobile phone that took that.. looks more like you planned, picked the perfect location, got some canon super SLR with an insane aperture lens and perfectly timed lighting and snapped a professional grade shot hahaha.. im just teasing.

very nice pic, your car and new wheels look stunning !

thanks. the wheels look a lot different than my old wheels in person. the faces are flatter and they have a more aggressive look overall. i'm pretty happy with them. i thought i'd like my old wheels better, but i actually prefer these.

i took my camera with me when i had them installed. i knew i'd want a pic. but i just stopped at the parking lot across the street from my place. shot it on a canon D9, which is a pretty nice point and shoot.

Thanks. As a side note, I have to say I was very happy with the service at Discount Tires. I was a little nervous having them installed there. But there are really no better options around here. Two guys really got into it and took their time. They covered the lips with plastic before mounting the tires so they wouldn't leave any tool marks. It's nice to see people take pride in their work.

+1 on DT too. Lifetime free air, free balance and rotate. Can't beat that! I've used them for all my aftermarket wheel purchase installs over the years...even have them shipped to the store instead of to my house now as well. Works great! If you don't have a large SUV it becomes a challenge hauling around 20" and 22" boxes with wheels! My last 22" purchase for my FX35 was a beast to get in there!

I like the look. Can't go wrong with the brush finish. I like it with the step lip.

Congrates on your new wheels!
Now you need a body kit to complete the project.

Thanks. I ordered the Auto Couture complete kit a couple weeks ago. Should be here around December or January.
