Arrow Got new wheels over the weekend (PICS)

I don't plan to lower my AWD, so I've been pretty picky choosing new wheels. I wanted the least "4x4" look possible, and I'm really happy with the end result.

They are 20x9 Varrstoen ES1s, 35 offset, Hyper Black, with Nitto NT555 245/35/20 directionals.

It rides and drives like a dream.

Here's a couple pics, including one showing how they sit. (PS - it's really dirty in the pics, sorry )

Wow other than you, 130+ other people have looked in here, and no other comments? Was hoping to see some other opinions....

Great combo.

Any chance at a Lexus center cap fitting?

Looks like it should rub, but amazingly it doesn't. Thx.

I paid $1,400. They are essentially brand new, only on a car for about 300 miles before I got them. NEW new would be over $2,000 so not a horrible deal, although I went into it hoping to get them for $1,000-$1,200 but the guy would not move on his price and by that point I was loving them.
