Ohhhh, look at you mister "I use a beautiful and rare wheel as my winter beater" lol

Love em bro. You can do them matte black for a real perverted look or keep em the way they are for a nice clean euro look. Either way, cant go wrong!

Although I like gunmetal, "as is" looks very appropriate for your setup.

Thanks for the feedback guys

The 285/30s are no good with our cars and the ET28. Had to roll and pull the fenders a bit to make them work, and STILL slightly rub... 275/30 would be ideal...

Looks shweet. What do you mean fronts are a different color? Are they hyper black and the rears hyper silver?

I say any shade that is on the dark side to hide the brake dust build up. I cant see anyone washing the car as much in the winter time when things are frozen.

+1

on a side note - totally happy right now that the winter set doesn't even get looked at until November (and that coincides with right after the November track day; Totally jealous of Whistler; not so much on having to think about winter wheels in Sept

Quick question - do you raise it up for winter or still keep it slammed?

Love your rims! May do the same setup in the spring

Our weather Sept-Nov = Rain
Dec-Jan =Rain, and chance of snow
Feb-April = Rain

lol... Depressing, need to move to Socal...

I drive slammed all year , winter months have other vehicles so I typically just park the E55...

Love the weather report - that ***** had me
