so i lost a center cap on one of my Privat Legende's so i sent an email directly to Konig with some pictures of my car. They sent me 4 for free! There's still some great companies out there that care about their customers

Staying with my small budget, I wasn't going to pay more than i did for the car for some Maya RT5's. I gotta say thanks to member "projectdna" for directing me to the right tire fitment. So anyways, i went with staggered PRIVAT LEGENDE Matte Graphite/Machine Lip wrapped in FALKEN FK-452's.

Theres only one way to break in a fresh set of tires on a GS400
Whole block was smoked out.
Neighbor is a Fire Chief, luckily he was cool with my lead foot antics

I can already hear the comments! - "MOAR LOW"

I just pulled the trigger on wheels / tires. I was just curious, why did you use the same series on front and back, over using a 30 series on the rear to give the same sidewall height...
