Post up some larger, better pics. I know the wheel, it's really nice, expensive too. It looks really sharp on your car!

Default Trying to post bigger pics (without url)

I guess the rear tires (305/30/19) Could've be a little taller. I can't lower the car, it's an F-55, but more importantly, it scrapes going into my driveway as it is, so I'll have to live with the fender gap. Still, I'm reall happy with the look. The back wheels stick out about 1/2 more than stock, and I think it's just right.

Normally they'd be about $900 each for the fronts and $1,100 each for the backs at Tire Rack, but they were on close-out so I paid $199 each for the front and $499 each for the back, so $1,400 total. About what I was about to pay for Crays.

One of my favorite wheels. I looked at them pretty hard when they were on closeout, but couldn't pull the trigger.

How do you like the tires?

Only put a few miles on the tires, but I do think they're quiter and ride better than the Eagle F1s that were on before, which were at about 50%. It's just a sunny-day driver ( a rarity in Seattle) so I think they'll be more than good enough.

BTW, I gave my stock polished thin-spokes and old tires to my neighbor. He's got a beautiful yellow '95 C4 with polished saw-blades. I think the thin-spokes will be a vast improvement.
