Configuration:
17x7 Borbet LV5 Anthracite
225/45R-17 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 RFT Runflat

That set up looks great. I didn't even know that Borbet still makes wheels! I love the bronze on black. I hadn't even thought about looking for a bronze wheel until now.

Thanks guys!

FYI...They're not bronze... They're actually Anthracite (black). The color matches the Black Sapphire Metallic paint of the car pretty nicely...

That is the exact choice I would have made but the Tire Rack WEB site says sold out for the season. And I can't even find the Bridgestone LM-22 RFT on the site. They must be sold out too.

Very nice. I thought about these too, but the website example pic didn't do justice to them, so I passed. Looks better than I thought, congrats!

Correct on the tires but we have 1 more shipment of that wheel coming in around 12-18. A few sets are still not spoken for.

Gill

PS- Nice choice IB! They look great.
