Same... plus, try not taking pics looking down at the wheel arch... makes the gap between the guard look big. Rims look good though... DAY PICS!

Considering I work in a tyre shop, not really, but they are on special this month so was pretty good, normally about $250 a wheel, but we can do them at the moment for about $200

did you have to custom "adjust" the stud pattern and offset?

or do they come that way?

Perfect fit, 53p offset, 4/108 PCD... all nice and legal, The wheel company bring in blanks with different offsets, and drill the right stud pattern when you order them. I won't say I hav'nt "adjusted"wheels before, but not on this car. (only on stuff, 25 years old)

(still trying to borrow a decent camera)
