New Shoes!

I finally have some decent shots of the wheels, had them on for about a month. The car's also been lowered with a Carlsson module.
Enjoy,

Eton

Thanks guys,
they're Savini SV4s'. 20X9 and 20X11 on PS2s'. I originally wanted to go with
P-Zero Neros but they weren't available and then Conti SC2s' are backordered until the end of May. I'm quite happy with the tires so far, very confidence inspiring.
Here's a lip shot.

They look great. I know Sprewell is big into Savini wheels.

How do the PS2s (295/25 rear I presume?) fit on the 11" wheel ? My vellano wheels are ready to ship but I have been waiting for the P-Zero in 305/25. If the PS2s work with the 11" size I could probably get them this week... I thought the 295 would be a little to narrow for the 11" wheel but maybe not ?

They don't look stretched. Just make sure to check the mirror when parking, I don't think the 305s' offer anymore rim protection than the 295s'.
