First of all, I'm jealous of those of you who can run 20" wheels where they live. That 'ish doesnt fly here.
Picked up Angelo's old set yesterday, thanks homie!
These are reps, so the rears are 9.5 instead of 9 factory width, they look great with the 275 tires.
Couple dirty pics from today:




I like the look, these may be painted black a bit down the road and will most likely end up being my winter set as well, my 18" SL's have had it.
Maybe I'll find a set of 19's that I'll like and will fit right, five sets failed.

Difficult to spot, but I see E55 calipers.

From clearance issues (wrong bore size to brakes) to looks and personal preference. And potholes preference too apparently

Thanks homes, its light, slightly higher than 40%. It's ALL around though that's what makes it appear darker and keeps the blue.
