What a beautiful set of wheels, love the whole new look it gives the car.

Edited to add: - here are my just mounted RG5's with MPSS and all same sizes as USMC's (pardon the phone pictures for now :-) )

Thanks VG... I think you'll be really pleased with the Champions you're getting as well.

F4, those are sweet looking Champions! Are you using wax as well to keep them shinny. What are you doing to keep those wheel bolts from rusting?

First, yes I wax the rims. I painted the center spokes, clear coated over them and then wax. As for lug bolts they are titanium so there is no rust issue.

Thanks Lvt... here are some more low res pics. The MPSS feel good but they're still new and haven't been broken in yet.

Thanks Messy... on the bonus side my wife(the accountant) likes them as well. We had a bit of fireworks over these wheels during the 4th of July when I purchased them. All good in the end though.

Looking very very good, usmc. I'll hope to run into you at some DEs sometime. You thinking PCA at TWS?

I recognize that p-dealer all too well, and also W. in the picture...he's a good guy.
