Well, today started out as a nightmare.  I got a call from my dealer that the wheels had showed up.  He then told me that their wheel balancer was on the fritz.  He wanted me to come in next Wednesday!  I almost cried.  I called around to a few good shops.  F & F wanted $40 a pop to re-mount.  I found another place, a really good place that would do them for $20 a pop like the dealer would.  So, I drove 20 some miles each way to go pick up the wheels and bring them to my new guy.  They did a fantastic job!  No damage, TPMS, torqued to 100, hub emblems straight and great treatment.  I found out why my TPMS light has been going on too.  The left front with 40 actual psi is registering at 29 psi.  So, now I can get the dealer to fix that.  I am ecstatic! All I can say is "It looks BOSS"!  Anyway, on to the pictures!




I took a video when they pulled it out for a test drive.  I'll try to get that up.

very nice!

originally i thought they were too subtle and were not worth the change from the standard rims.  But, they look very good and classy, reminds me of a large Audi (definitely a compliment).

BTW, how much did it cost to get rid of the pinstripe and who did it?

Thanks DRII  I took the pin striping off the night I brought her home with a fingernail and 3M adhesive remover.

Dave, they look great, too bad the weather isn't better so they stay clean a bit longer.  You made a great choice, they really compliment the car very nicely!

Thanks Mark!  I can't wait for nice weather to detail her up good and get some ROTM quality pictures!  I did stop off for a spray wash on the way home.  I'll get her in the garage tomorrow and do what I can.  Thaw her out and get the tires dressed.
