New wheels came in today!
Wheels are on!!!
I think they look great aside from the fact that the front center caps won't quite fit over the grease/dust shields even with the 10mm spacers.


Anyway, I'll be taking her out for a bath and a photoshoot in a few hours so stay tuned!

I had a problem with my front caps as well. I used a dremel tool and gently ground out the inside of the cap to them point where it finally snapped in place. I also got a few extra caps just in case I burned through them or they popped off. Its a good idea to get the caps now. If they stop sellling the wheels then its much harder to find the caps. I'm curious just how detrimental it would be if you removed the dust cap from the hub? I think the wheels have a cleaner, finished look with the center caps on. very nice looking wheels.

UPDATE: Rear wheels arrived today and I'm having tires mounted tomorrow morning. I'll hold off on mounting the new wheels until my new brake pads show up. Should be any day now...
I'm also planning on painting the calipers but I haven't decided on a color yet. I'm leaning towards yellow or maybe red.

BTW, I didn't see the car pics when I just posted this, so sorry about the question!!!! BTW, was I behind you on 494 testerday afternoon about 3:30 or so heading east? I saw a Cross just like yours, and noticed the wheels were different, but traffic was moving and couldn't see what kind they were. Mark

Until I decide to change it to orange. Those wheels are really sharp!

my car is Graphite. I doubt you saw me on 494 yesterday though; I was at home putting the wheels on around that time. Keep an eye out for me though. I drive on 494 just about every day around 4:15.
Thanks for the suggestion on yellow calipers. That might be just the ticket!

BTW, I think your photo placements, the angles and of course the subject are really beautiful. Great, great job.
VERY NICE! Aggressive look'in rear lip. It's like factory wheels on steroids. I've seen these in Hyper Black and they look really sharp.
What size spacers did you use and will the offsets clear without spacers?
Are you running OEM size rubber?
