Thanks Alex. Everything went really smooth at the installer. I got a lot of compliments on them from our local club events this weekend.

They actually look better on the car than the run-of-the-mill aftermarket offerings typically posted here. What are the specs on the wheels?

21.5lbs supposedly. I didn't get a chance to weight them myself before the installer put my tires on them.

KyleJ: Excellent choice on the Borbets. They match the... ummm... windows, I think! Compliments the car well.

Konky, those are tasty. I still like the one-ton Porsche cookie cutters, but the Alfa wheels, yum. Both reflections in the car are also savory... is that a red Corrado with that crazy lip? M-Z3 coupe? It almost looks like a caricature - a good one.
