Hey Alwin, it looks like he wrote "wider in back". I have seen sizzle's car (on toyos) and he is right about the slightly stretched look. It still looks good though, and I didn't notice it until he pointed it out (but now I notice). (drats!)
Put down the Budweiser Al. I said wider in back.....
Damn, well good luck. I'd rather get other mods:Put down the Budweiser Al. I said wider in back.....
Now i've just about convinced myself to experiment with 10.5 and 9.5 in a gunmetal color. This because my other gripe is the brightness of the wheels in direct sunlight....
We shall see.....
I ordered them as well!!
You have good taste, so I'm not doubting or trying to change your mind. I just wanted to share that as a guy with a vehicle w/black wheels, the dark colored wheels get old after a while. Sometimes a little shine isn't a bad thing.......Put down the Budweiser Al. I said wider in back.....

Awesome, I hope I get mine around the same time too!EDIT: Just called AWE and the pipes will be completed end of next week and will be at my door on Monday....
I was under the impression that you had ordered Black DPE's with white pinstripes.
Yeah, I agree. I still haven't ordered my new wheels because I can't decide on silver or anthracite (with chrome lip) for the same reason as sizzle. The anthracite color is bit lighter than gunmetal, and I think it is kind of in-between silver and gunmetal (sort of).You have good taste, so I'm not doubting or trying to change your mind.

Right. I used the word gunmetal, but it will not be a dark grey. It will actually be a custom color. The wheel I am considering is a mesh wheel so it will not show as dark as a spoke wheel.Yeah, I agree.

The 5 is my daily cruiser...wasn't really putting much consideration into optimal performance gains. My primary goal was to retain stock ride quality and the 275/30 achieved this goal.
HRE says I should go with a 265 tire for my 20x9.5 wheel. They say that is the exact rolling diameter as stock. I have not checked with Tire Rack yet to see what they say, but my wheels are being sent directly to Tire Rack from HRE because there headquarters are in the city I live in and a friend of mine who works there is going to put the right size tire on for me. Or so I hope!
boredom...What made you decide to start showing your mods off all of the sudden
Front only, though I probably have to take them off soon.
