Kinda weird having all this performance and full leather, Bose stereo, navigation system, etc.
Eric what width are the stock 5-spoke 18" rims? I can't find that info anywhere....

This model uses the Carrera lightweight 5-spoke wheel with a custom finish. It's not chrome. It does grow on you.

Are you sure about that? My front wheels are stamped with the number 8 and the rears are stamped with a ten and the guys at Wheel Enhancement are telling me the fronts are 8's and the rears are 10's.

Would I stake my life on it? Nope. I'm too lazy to go outside and look at my car. If yours has the "8" stamp. then I'll differ to you. I really thought they were 8.5".

I double checked my car, and yes, you are correct: 8" up front, and 10" in the rear. Sorry for the confusion. (see below)

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes. I will surely learn a great deal today.
