New wheels with new Hankook EVO V12 tires.  Wheels are Tenzo Cuzco V2 in Bronze Flat (machined lip and machined center).  18x8".  Tires are 225/40/18.  Wheels are robust..which is good, since it's a daily driver that sees the "best" of Windsor's pot-holes.  Reminds me of wheels you might see on a Mercedes...or something DTM-ish. Pretty understated IMO.  Very nice wheels for the money IMO, if a bit heavy....

Very nice.  Thumbs up

A wheel like that might look good on the Sebring, in a 17 inch rim.

Sounds like some company should make a fold-able & battery power large screen external display for the BB users.

Nice looking wheels but I always wince at the extra set of bolt holes... I imagine stress cracks starting there.

Whatis the cost on the tires? Be interested to keep an eye on your impressions for future replacement of the 18s on my GTI. Hancook has been getting some pretty good reviews on their HIPO tires latley. Well priced 18s are gold.

The wheels? If you are happy then I'm happy for you. My personal preferance is that I don't like bronze/gold wheels on balck cars. Its always struck me as a SUBARU STI thing and doesn't work for me personally on upscale looking cars like the Lexus. Multispoke rims?  Not thanks.

Prefer something like this

Wheel gap isn't that bad. I've seen way worse. Closing up the gap a bit isn't worth the ride trade off when you have potholes (I know all about that) Ever thought about getting a set of clear or smoked turn signal lights? Very inexpensive and getting rid of that orange on the otherwise balck car would make nice difference.

A tire shop guy once told me that machined rims are not a good idea for snow&salt. He said I'd be better off with [silver] painted rims as the finish will last much longer.
But the rims are v.nice and its a great colour combo.
Not to give you bad ideas but how about some caliper paint now?  Smiley

The calipers ARE painted.  I did them flat black.  I'm not into red/yellow/blue/gold calipers.  And they're a HUGE PITA to keep clean.
