NEWER PICS (still not great). I swear none of these pictures do them any justice. In person they look so much better.

Riss Racing · 12-11-2008, 05:12 PM

Very nice!

miro2296 · 12-11-2008, 05:14 PM

They look really good!

adrean8j · 12-11-2008, 06:42 PM

So very jealous......I want to put my Vorsteiners onnnnn....

Very, Very nice Randomquickness....I like your style!:wink::w00t:

randomquickness · 12-11-2008, 06:57 PM

thanks for all the kind words...I will be eventually getting some GOOD photos. The black wheels don't show up in photos...but in person you can see every detail perfectly.

adrean8j · 12-11-2008, 07:01 PM

Yes please get some good pics...I need a new wallpaper! ;-)

iborroel · 12-11-2008, 07:43 PM

Are you rubbing in the front or rear?

twenzel · 12-11-2008, 08:05 PM

Wow Man! Looks amazing.

a lot in the front but I am pretty sure most of it is the tab that Larryn was talking about and very little in the back.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Good luck with the Kumho's man. I used them once on a previous car, but vowed never again when 3 of the tires' sidewalls decided to bulge for no reason. I'll never use a cheap tire again.

cagekicker · 12-11-2008, 10:44 PM

yes, they look mean as hell.

cheap dd tires ftw man im right there with yah, dont listen to these guys. All tires can bulge, $1200 run flats bulge all the time and they arent "cheap"

professor · 12-12-2008, 06:55 AM

wow, those are great looking wheels. congratulations.

I don't consider Kumho "cheap". When I think of cheap tires I think of Sunny, Wan Li, and Nankang. My next choice in these sizes was Pirelli...but with less tread life, a less attractive tread design, and bit more expensive, I went with the Kumhos. Now I know these are no michelins so I bought the tire replacement plan with them just in case.

good call on th tire replacement plan... you will need it with the kumhos

I understand why you went with them... at that size rear tire you dont have the normal choices...and the high end ones are $$$$$.

overall love the wheels, not my color choice but beautiful design

Novator · 12-12-2008, 02:04 PM

I am not a fan of 19" wheels, but I love the look and how they fill the wheel arches

Very nice choice and the color provides a nice contrast.

Novator · 12-12-2008, 02:04 PM

Oh and nice lip in the wheels

randomquickness · 12-12-2008, 05:11 PM

You should get that taken care of fairly quickly. That tab causes more of a gouge issue than a rub issue. It's likely you'll have strings of rubber gouged off your tire shoulder, if you let it go for too long.

Btw, the new pics look great!!

randomquickness · 12-13-2008, 08:16 AM

it is actually not gouging at all...it is more like a 1/2" wide scrape. I am going to take the dremel to it today and see if I can help it.

adrean8j · 12-13-2008, 08:39 AM

^^^Still waiting for my new wallpaper! LOL....
