p.s. the delay in Lenexa KS was from me derailing the train just so I could get a close-up look at your wheels!!!

Looks very good so far. It looks like you got some fat tires in the rear.

The wheels were $5k shipped with tires. I will never buy or ship from that long distance ever again exept if buying new. What a nightmare.

Fatter than I had on my Z! These things grip! I know concave is the new fad, but old fashion lip and meat is classic!

Update 2/16/2012

Got my TPMS switched to the new rims, and changed the brake pads to Wearever ceramic. 0 Brake Dust!!!!

The pads were purchased through Advance Autoparts. They were the same as the Mercedes AMG. I read some good reviews on them through serveral boards, and said what the heck. They were $90 for fronts and back. Ill tell you guys, I have been pounding these, and the grip is incredible, no noise what so ever, and absolutley no brake dust on the rims after a 500 mile trip to Orlando and back. I highly recommend them! You cannot go wrong.

Part No. CNAD 1365 Fronts $51.99
Part No. CNAD 1366 Rear $45.99
