Thanks for all the input.. No offense taken.. Everyone has their own tastes and I personally like my current wheels.. The Lowenharts were one my favorite wheels of all times and I knew I would get them someday.. I may change them up next year, but I haven't gotten sick of them yet.. My previous wheels were 19 inch Racinghart CX, 20 inch TSW Kyalami, and now Lowenharts.. I'm considering 19 inch Work DH, but I like how no one sports LD-1s anymore.. Makes me somewhat unique..

Answers to questions from above:

- As for Lowenhart the fittment, no modification was needed for the front, but I had to shave the rear fenders. Just remember that I am running 225/35 front and 245/35 rear. 20x9 +25, 20x10 +23.

- The Lowenharts seems to weigh less than the TSWs. They are 3 peice wheels (techincally they are 2 peice since Lowenharts weld the inner and out barrels together and cover the weld with silicone.) They also might weigh less since I am running thinner tires. As for ride comfort, they ride pretty much the same. I also get better gas mileage with the LD-1s compared to TSWs.

- As for the emblem, I had an Aristo emblem on the right for a short time, but someone jacked it.

- navi-conversion kit was purchased at http://www.tvandnav2go.com/ You might want to search around for group buys.

- TSW wheels were sold.

By the way, I'm suprised that no one noticed that my stock navigation was upgraded to a gen 4 ecu.

I liked your old wheels much better. Lowenharts belong on a Mercedes.

Very clean car. I like the rear view camera is integrated into the license plate frame. It makes it much more discrete.
