BTW, what lugs are you going with?
They come with special lugs from the dealer, they're labled with "12x1.25" however dont ask my what that means as I have no clue about lugs ;-)

How are the chromiums on the white in real life? Would u have gone flat black in hindsight or do the chromiums set it off??

ah sorry, posted them everywhere but here ;-) Here you go.

About the color, I love the chromium black. Depending on the light and the angle you look at them, they are somewhere between flat black and silverish black. So they fit in to the black/white colors I've choosen for the car, but still create a bit of a "oh, look, shiny thing over there" look. Also, the shiny bit kind of shows of more the concave styling of the wheels, which I like.
So even with the powers of captain hindsight I would take cromium black again.

XXR 527 18x8.75'' 245/35R-18 Kumho Ecsta LE Sport XL

Finally put on rims!

XXR 527 18x8.75'' in Chromium Black

245/35R-18 Kumho Ecsta LE Sport XL

The fitment is perfect. No rubbing anywhere, the tires stick out just a hair out.
Very smooth ride

It sits up too high for my liking, drop coming later this month
