stillhere153 had a lot to do with me getting these wheels...I bought them from enigmaos but Al helped me out big-time. look forward to seeing your ride on the hyper-silver Grav's milk man...it's gonna look sexy!

Can't file a loss claim until the 17th....filing damage claim the same time. Not sure but I'm sure they'll drag their feet like any Federal Gov't entity is trained to do They gotta cash me out since they're irreplaceable!

that sucks that they lost the wheel, I Bought an amp from NJDevil a while back and it was damaged in transit by USPS. I returned it to him and he filed a claim. From what he told me they made good on it without too much hassle.

USPS is actuallly pretty good at filling a claims as long as you have all your paper work ready. Since the total loss is less that 1000 dollars you will be ok.

Yea, I know...now that I got 'em mounted up I'm thinking drop for sure. I gotta slow down on the mods for now though I'm kind of wishing I would've went with wider skins now...265/35-18's would've worked well I think.

(A) center caps from a tl-s gunmetal wheels would definitely set it off nicely

Agreed...drop is inevitable now

I am looking for those...my thoughts exactly.

Thanks for the props milk man...I try very hard to keep her immaculate at all times.

I think too much tire sidewall makes them look smaller than 18's...next set of tires will be 255 or 265/35-18's...after the drop of course.

The Hyper-Silvers match your car awesome man...and look soooo much better with your drop. I'm not sure the Gunmetals would look right with anything but NBP or maybe WDP

245/40/18 is fine after drop. Give it a try first. 1.5"-1.75".

Definitely a huge improvement huh? It'll be better when I recoup $600 from USPS for their screw up I really like the CSL spoiler...kind of unique and noone else is rockin' it around here; it really sets off the rear of the car combined with the TL-S tails. I'm going to roll the 245's until they're done and then rethink my tire choice...car will be dropped by then for sure

Lots of claying and polishing to get her to shine like that...wash/wax is a waste without prepping the paint proper; but what a huge PITA to prep! Black is PAIN...LOL.
