Thanks Ron. It took a while for Daz to get them shipped to US shores... at least that's what I was told, I think around a month and a half to two months. The rest of the wait was a month saving up enough... otd with tires was around 2800 with warranty on the tires.

I'll try to get a close up later on this week...

Yeah, a bit pricey but I just wanted to get something I really wanted instead of just settling. The wheels by themselves were $1800 so I thought that was reasonable.

More power to you.

If I was about 10 years younger and didn't have 3 kids,
I would be doing the same.

Plus since not everyone can or is willing to throw down that kind of $,
you got sumthin unique.

That's one NICE color.... I should've gone with ABP. Nice wide lips on the wheels. I actually considered the silver J5, too.

Hey, do you know the specs of the wheels? Like offset, width? Who did you purchase it from? How do you like the Fuzions?

Thanks 260, I was actually interested in getting anthracite myself but they didn't have any anthracite 6mt's at the dealership at the time, so I went with the next best thing, ABP.

The specs are 245/35/19 and i bought them from America Tire so I could also get the warranty for the tires. So far so good, I really just wanted a decent tire that had a decent tread wear rating and I think the Fuzions have 320 or so... i'm not sure. But other than that, the ride's nice.

I always wondered who wakes up and says "I want to move Charlotte!"...it's actually pretty nice...I'm one of the handful of natives here...everyone's from somewhere else.

Probably could...of course, most people just use it as an excuse to buy a bigger house...I'd probably go the cash route...it would let me retire sooner!


TL2K5 - any other mods planned?

Wow! You made the right choice with ABP. ABP was my first choice, but the dealer didn't have the camel interior that I wanted and the wifey didn't want to wait so we got WDP. Your car is absolutely gorgeous! Don't get me wrong, but the pictures don't do it justice at all and I know it looks 100x better in person. I'm jealous!
