Cant wait to get some rubber. I actually found these by going through mutiple threads and contacting each potential lead to find a set. These threads were YEARS old and i just so happen to strike gold and found an owner of these that was actually willing to part with them! Enjoy!

Congrats on the find.

I, personally, don't think chrome wheels look good on these things, though. But as long as you are happy, that's all that matters.

Well it was really tough decision finding wheels for my Pewter Metallic SS. If it had been any other color I would have probably not have gone chrome. I like a little bit of bling

That's all that matters, then (though I do agree with TexFinn).

What tires will you be slapping on them?

Well I have Michelin Pilot Sports on my factory 17's but with the prices of 19" tires I will more thank likely be running either Falken FK-452s (which I had on my HRE fitted e46) or the ever so inticing Achiles ATR sports.

Thanks, I feel like I've seen that set on here before. I am pretty happy with them and can't wait to get them installed.

Just watch out for potholes and such, they bend fairly easy. Had mine repaired twice with these LA roads. Now the RT5s are backup wheels to my iForged Daytonas. Update with pics when you install them.

Grats. Just make sure the chrome isnt bubbling where the tire beads or you might find it leaking air.

Yes, I have heard. Most of the sets out there are bent. These have a few small dings on the inside but no structual bends. They were used for 5 years but literally look near brand new. I am, however, keeping my stocks in case a bend does occur, which I would then have it professionally repaired.

Nice, I'll have to check that out. I almost bout a set of the DTV's from vrwheels but deemed the style a bit to over the top/dated.
