I like them better than your AC and there 20" too

HEhehe, the reason they don't stick out like a 4x4 is because of the super stretched tires I have on the car. I look at my fender right from the top and I can see the lip of the wheel is IN LINE with the edge of the fender. It's close, I don't think I can go any lower offset without going widebody or flares.....

Dont worry about the stretch, we approve!! (well at least I do).

Jon, Welcome to the DUB club. Looking good. The only downside is are you sure 245/35/20 are wide enough to handle your big HPat the rear?

Dronells
Everything has been said but I couldn't help it. I too, think it looks very hot. Dronells are one classy wheel. Can't understand why they aren't more popular. I am very surprised the fitment works. I had a benz. When I got rid of it I asked my wheel shop guys if I could transplant the wheels to the Lex. They told me absolutely not. Hope everything works well with the set up.

Yep and you are right. Those are the monoblock Brabus III wheels. An old-school classic, but on a different league than these wheels that I just got.

For reference, from a build quality standpoint, they are no better than Lowenhart, yet they cost almost twice as much LOL
I'd take HRE, WORK, WALD, iFORGED, etc over Brabus anyday (steps down off soap box
)
. Though my offsets are not aggressive enough !
. Your car looks mint!
