I really like this wheel, looks very nice, also available in all silver, and with black backing color,
Mine are graphite, fitted the new graphite Mercedes hub caps, works very well with the wheel.

That looks fantastic Vic! No offense, but I like your winter look, better than your summer look!

If your car was mine, your summer wheels would be your winter wheels and your winter wheels would be my summer wheels. The winter wheels would rarely look dirty from traveling on snowy roads (I don't know if they salt the roads in Sweden?) and your summer wheels would look brighter during the warmer months. Plus, I just really think your winter wheels are "uber" cool looking. Yes I do!

Unfortunately this wheel is so new that there is no staggered setup available yet, the 10" version is available beginning of Q2
I would really like a wider deep dish rear wheel if I were to use them in the summer half of the year.

And yes they do salt the roads here, it sucks very much

Sorry to hear about salting the roads. This is one of the reasons I moved to Florida years ago. My thoughts on snow: "Snow should be looked at, preferably in pictures, but never touched!" Yes it should!

When do you get your first snow there? Here we're normally safe until late November, and then can get snow through late March and early April.

Are they the Wintrac Xtreme S? I'm still looking around for boots for my winter wheels, though only 17". Probably buy soon before the prices go up for winter.

I, too, am envious of your work space.

The brand is Ocean and the model is called Atlantic, this is all I know, I buy them from a Swedish dealer, I havnt seen them outside of Sweden, I bet they are available but most likely under a different name.

What happened to using the stock 17's? Wouldn't fit over the larger brake caliper, huh?
