Actually looks really sharp.

Compliments the exterior paint scheme rather nicely. :ok:

Now get some rubber on it!

I have some...sitting in the corner lol. Had the tires for a few weeks but the wheels had to be ordered. Hopefully i'll have time this weekend to have them mounted. Should i order TMPS sensors or do most tire shops carry these since so many cars use em? Never actually changed rims on a car that had them is why i ask.

  :rock:  Wheels rock, but the full effect is missing without the tires.  What are you going to mount? Pics when you have tires on mounted them and on the ride please...

I had a bear of a time with my TPMS sensors when I purchased my after market (TSW) rims/tires.

Mine was that weird transition year where FMC was switching over from the banded style (which I have) versus the valve stem sensors.

So I spent an astronomical amount of money to purchase OEM banded style sensors.

The other monkey in the wrench, is that to program the sensors, most tire shops (at least at that time) did NOT have the proper programming device.

So I would defer to w/e vendor it is that will be mounting/balancing them, and yield to what they suggest.

Will do on the sensors.
The meat is going to be the Michelin Pilot Super Sports 255/45/20 this is going to be an inch shorter then stock tires 255/50/20 so i'll have to get my tune adjusted for them as well.

May be time for whitewall tires to make a comeback?  Wheel looks great, the setting is kinda like on a monster truck ;)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

When I spoke to LMS, they told me there will be a new setting on the updated xv1 tune.
I think they are updating the mycal software. Because he said when I get my xv1 tune, I will be able to pick my wheel size in the programmer...

These are advanti racing PO Prodigo  20x8.5 45mm offset weight 30lbs.
However, i am returning them. The reason is the weight, i asked the seller to confirm weight with the maker and once he got them but they do not weight the 27lbs he told me.
SO, i'm returning them and getting TSW Interlagos in 20x8.5 40mm offset suppose to weigh 23.25lbs getting them in the silver with machine face finish.

Nearly 7lbs lighter then the advanti wheels. They cost more but that was never an issue.

good call.  It is a stronger wheel as well.  Also, by being a full-face wheel, you can install wheel weights closer to the lip area, which means the balance will be easier to get right, and more accurate.

The Nurburgring can also be made in 22", still weighs right about 30 lbs. 

another light weight is the Giovanna RL series of wheels.  Awesome options there too, in 22 or just 20".
