Default New Wheels

I got pinched on an on-ramp and kissed a curb, messed up some suspension, and my rear wheel.

Insurance covered rear wheel. For the price they gave me for the front wheel i was able to "pretty much" buy a whole new set of wheels.

I bought a set of TSW croft wheels. this picture isn't my car, i get her back this coming Tuesday,

I will post pics, but want to know what you guys think.

Thanks,

Justin

Sorry to hear about the mishap, Justin, but glad you came through it OK. Lousy way to get new wheels, but hey, it sure could be worse.

I should swing by and take a look in person. You know, to give my approval.

Wheels look phenominal. More details tho. Stock sizes? or did you get ballsy LOL

Great looking sharp wheel, they remind me a LOT of the last gen (E46) M3 wheel, especially on those Bimmers, top notch....

Looking good. Man they would have looked even sweeter with 19's and 20's but hey you did good dude.

I bet they look even better in person!

Thanks,

Justin

I was looking at these as well, you beat me to them

Could you maybe email me a highres of the wheel itself? kinda curious about whether JUST the face is machined or if the face and spokes are.

Also, how "shiny" is the face? we talking aluminum, polished, mirrorcut, or chrome-ish?

The face is only machined and at night gives it kind of a polished look from street lights, it is clearly only machined during the day, very nice look. the inside of the spokes and the rest of the wheel entirely is painted gun metal or dark gray.

Thanks,

Justin
