Default Will These Wheels Fit???? Yea, they do.

Roger plucked them off e-bay for me yesterday and the guy was local so picked them up a couple of hours ago.

They are ATS Apollo 11's 18x8 front and 18x10 rears with new Conti Sport Contact 2's.

Have yet to go further than around the block but so far so good. I'm going to repaint the center caps because I don't like the color they are.

Just thought I'd share.

Damnit, pics would help....brb. have to resize them.

They are 2 piece wheels, not 3.

I already know about you and my man. Shame on you Sean. Nasty man, bragging in public about being his toy. Shame, shame, shame.

Usually it's Randy that makes a hard left turn and ends up in ****sville. Honey, you need to get away for a few days. Next time, you come up and leave the slouch at home.

Those do look nice. Is that a present for Angela?

I also like the clear marker lights and front turn signal lights, really makes the paint pop.

I like em! What are the offsets or backspacing? With 10" rears you can go all the way to 295's and 235's on the front, if the offsets will allow.

From what I can tell, with all the stampings on them inside, they are 50 ET's all the way around. I'll have to have someone with a bit more expertise take a look when I have them off.

I was worried they might be China knock-offs when I went to pick them up. (seller had no idea what they were, what offsets they were, brand etc), so I just loaded them up and got them home. The tires still have all the little wiskers, they are new.

After I got them cleaned up and saw they were made in Germany I knew I got a decent deal.

Huge thanks to Roger for bidding for me while I was working.

Those look great! Best new style that I've seen in quite a while. Very unique.
I'd almost consider keeping the center caps off. Something about lack of caps that works. More aggressive?
Great score.

Roger,
If I would have known you were bidding I would not have run it up, I thought they looked nice also.

Sorry, but glad you won them.
