New pic update!
Rims came back from the repair shop. Had them mounted up to the OE michelins minus TPMS sensors (keeping those on the OE rims for winter). As a testament to the build quality of these wheels 2 of them needed no weights at all when balancing. Pics were taken in the rain courtesy of Hurricane Sandy approaching the east cost. These are coming off in a couple of weeks before winter hits but i wanted to squeeze whatever was left of the fall cruising season. ;D
Both rims back from the wheel repair shop. Cleaned up and round and ready to rock. Note the fresh machining on the bead seat.
The tire's lip protector still doing it's job.

Front fender view flush angle. I'll be looking into 3mm spacers when i drop it in the spring.
Front fender view slight angle
Rear fender view flush angle. I'd like a 5 mm spacer on there but i don't want to get new studs.
