I know I am stupid but why do people screw with perfection. OEM wheels are so much better and it holds the value of the car. I guess there is demographic that wants to pimp their cars. I don't get it...never will. Then on top of that is alters the cars design perfromance and ride.

because not everyone's idea of perfection is exactly the same as the guy who signed off on the final design of the car. people like to individualize their cars since they have personalities.

yes it looks nice, but
is it nice enough for

ABS problems
suspension problems
ride comfort
performance hindered
fuel consumption
tire wear
not to mention damage to these rims from bums pot holes due to thin tire

On a car that is not cheap to fix, by things that will cause the problems!
Its an S65! its meant to go go go!
but thats my opinion

also if you can afford the car you should be able to maintain it.

Sweet ride!!!

+1 on what OP said regarding Peter @ Wheel Experts. He has ALWAYS taken the time to answer ALL my questions about wheels or anything else I had on my mind no matter how busy he was since day 1. Definitely one of the guys setting the standard in the business IMHO...
