UPS left mine right in the middle of my driveway also. But then again what are they supposed to do with them?
The wheels and tires are going to look great!

Well hell, idk but it was still a little discomforting! And they look flat out gorgeous! Hotwheel you were right, I'm in love with them!

This thread is worthless without pics, right? Here's some before and after shots:

How big was your grin when you first saw them on your car?

I know I couldn't stop smiling.

Your car looks fantastic! Congrats.

Oh, once I saw them roll out of bay 1, I didn't even care that I paid them 20 bucks to torque on some wheels! I just could not stop smiling haha. Thanks!

Thanks Mayo, I thought it looks darker too! I think it's the black on the wheel that give that look. Oh believe me I know! The Goodyear Eagle F1s were never any good in wet or cold conditions and lately I've been babying it every day since I ran those tires until they had about 1 or 2mm left of tread. I know all about squirrely haha
