Ok, with some cropping and losses in scenery...

19". A bit of PIA to clean, had to use a furry mitten. The base LE comes with 18s which would me my personal preference. That's the size I will use in winter.

Congrats. Missed you're purchase. How long have you had it?

Thanks! Since mid-summer. Already put 3,7k on it. Love the soft suspension and super comfy seats. The car uses half or even less of what I used to spend on gas. I've seen 4.2L/100 as a long trip average.

Good thing you got it when you did. Well done vehicles.

Not sure I like the sound of "acidic". I tried autoglym magma before and while it didn't appear to have damaged any wheel finish, it did corroded and unglued the balancing wheel weights. Elbow grease from now on.

Yes...from Citrus IIRC.

These haven't damaged any wheel I've used it on...even aftermarket. I wouldn't use it on uncoated aluminum wheels like the CCWs I had on the Supra though.
