Some guy here has those covers on his BMW... Everyone points and laughs when he drives by. They look horrible in person.

Very true. His are red and flaking...so maybe that's why. The black does look clean though. Good job.

Intested to see how the fitment of the 8.5's with a +35 offset comes out when sitting on the ground... looks like they will sit in about 6.3mm from where the 9's fit with +35... Thats right at a 1/4 of an inch...

I was thinking about a 1/4 also . I really wanted 9's but for some reason they were price about $80 more per wheel . If I don't get the look I want I will use spacers, but I hope not

They didn't make the 8.5's in a +29 or +30? that would of put the face at the same place as the 9's @ +35...

Wheels came out great, it seems like both 10 spoke and 5 spoke options are a big hit on the 4G.

Looks sharp, makes me miss my silver TL. Silver is an amazing color on the 4G's, in different lights the color changes and it hides dirt so well.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I really love the way the car turn out the ride with the 20's and H&R springs is not the same as stock but I don't feel like I give up a lot the ride is better than expected. I will trade a little comfort for the appearance since the car is not my daily. Mabe one day I will got to coils but for now I'm happy with everything .
