Wheels are here finally!

These were very well packaged with nylon bands and tape around all seams on the box, cardboard stays around the lip on the front and back, a foam wheel face protector, and a plastic bag around the wheel itself. The center cap (free from Avant Garde) was just in a corner of the box. I was however disappointed that there were no BMW roundel stickers for the center caps as I was promised - I will be contacting my vendor about that tomorrow.



Here are some pictures of the fronts, as you can see in the last picture, they weigh 26.0lbs on my bathroom scale - not too shabby for a wheel this size that is cast:





And now the rears, these weigh 28.6lbs on my bathroom scale. Go go gadget low offset concave!






Overall I am very pleased with the finish on these wheels and I like the fact that the barrels are fully painted - most less expensive wheels don't have that. Hopefully I can get them mounted and balanced tomorrow and I will put them on the car after work - stay tuned for more pictures!
