Default New wheels and new pics

After five weeks, I received my ADV5's from ADV1 and the wheels look superb. Very nice finish on the brushed and the wheels look great. I went to Motorwerks in Houston to have the tires mounted and they did a great job. Sunil and Akram took care of the mounting and with their touchless tire install machine, everything went without a hitch.

I would say these wheels are my favorite so far. Don't get me wrong, I will always have love for BBS LM's and HRE but these wheels really make the rear end of the car come out.

Here are some pics I took last friday. I took some better pics yesterday but pics aren't uploading so I'll just post the ones I have.

Comments/suggestions/criticisms welcomed!

Thank you parsonii! Much appreciated!

Doubleurx: They are Advance1 wheels and if you are in Houston, you can order them from Motorwerks (www.mwhouston.com)

Love the wheels. The wide angle lens is a bit weird though!

I love that look and those ADV wheels are amazing! Perfectly complement to your 996. Where in Houston are you? Is that your GS in the background?

I don't really scrape the front except going up and down my driveway if I'm not careful. Other wise, I try not to drive it to areas/places I'm not familiar with

I'm in SW Houston and that is my GS in the background. It's my daily and the front rims were getting fixed at the time
