hahahaha too many tyres there...

looking good druz...

[domino_z]

good to see them on the car Drew

what is the quality of the paint etc like irl? im really skeptical about these US brands and thats my main concern

i thought you ordered the matt bronze?

im still a good 1-2 months away from recieving mine i rekon

also did you weigh them?

i did some figures and looks like ill be around 4lbs lighter per corner, but will only know for sure when i put the tyres on

they look good Drew

concave spoke, dish, what more could you want!

[druzilla32]

Thanks for comments, yes I quite like them.

Domino: The quality is very good, nothing wrong with them (which is expected)

Yep, these are the matt bronze with gun metal lip. I saw a picture that a supplier took just after I ordered and it made them look glittery and much lighter.

In real life they look more like the AVD photo shoot pics.

I did weight them (with tyres)

front: 28.42KG

rear: 29.9KG (stock 30.3)

I am suprised to see that the rear advs are actually lighter in stock.. Especially since the advs are 21's !

The stock run flats must be heavy.

To be honest, now that I am more interested in track work I wish I saved the money and got some carbon parts.. Or used new slicks for the next 5 years.

re tyres yep, its the tyres that are the killer with the oem setup. im saving 7lbs a corner on tyres alone going to 21" yoki advans

When photo is taken with flash the look a bot more like the above wheels.. But just looking at them they appear much darker and grey/brown looking.

[Huy]

I think you need more wheels.

New shoes look great on the 35!

I love these wheels. Looking forward to see them in the flesh.

This picture is in the sun:

This is in shade:

I have lowered the car about a half inch more than before.. So its probably 2 inch lower than stock now.

To be honest, I dont think any wheels with dish look good at stock ride height. If your not going to lower it you wont find a better looking wheel than stock.

Also, if I could go back in time I would have matt black centre and gloss black lip.

I have couple more pics on my blog too.
