Yea with the 35/30 sidewall they look small since it isn't lowered. And I was bored at work and all of these were taken with my iphone. I just put on my black grill and flat badge, going to do a nice detail on Sunday and have my boy with his D80 get some nice still and rolling pics.

Yea that option is very important to me around here. It looks like I may end up with a V3.......

Great choice on the wheels. Can never go wrong with HRE's.
Enjoy and make sure you have locks on those. Thieves will also enjoy your wheels and even enjoy them more taking them off your ride.
Enjoy.

Yea where I live it is not a huge issue but is always in the back of my head. I ended up buying 2 different sets of Mcguard wheel locks just to try and avoid it as much as possible. The real deal is that if a thief wants your wheels they will figure a way to have them even with 5 sets of wheels locks on there. Hopefully I can keep away a couple lazy ones with 2 sets haha
