BOSS style wheels. Nice... can't go wrong there. Is that a Matt finish?

Thanks, and yes, it is matte grey. (Darkest grey I could find with a flat finish.) Got a set of tires waiting at the dealer to mount up. Should have finished product pics in the next couple days.

Probably selling the OEM wheels and tires as well as the new Sumitomo 19" summer tires that came with the new rims. The OEM rims/tires are in like-new condition.

Well... this is the best I can do in frozen windy Chicago...



I think I'm going to get rid of the side stripes as well. I also have lowering springs waiting to be installed.

Kind of flows with the double stripe on lower part of the car

Just a suggestion....

You should keep the OEM's and put a good set of Winter tires on them. Living in Illinois you'll appreciate having a second set. Then store your new wheels with nice summer tires for the cold season.

And if you ever sell the car down the road you can put the OEM's back on and use the nicer wheels for your new ride.

Just thinking practical.
