sorry, i had a pretty bad f'n day yesterday...to say the least.
i got the wheels on on Friday, but due to the rain and Super Bowl....i wasn't able to get the car "shoot ready" until Monday. So Monday morning, i get all my gear packed and head out to get a detail for the shoot. as i roll up to a stop light, the car flutters and stalls! i try to start it and immediately stalls again...in the middle of the street. my fuel pump died on me, perfect!
as if it can't get any worse, flatbed tow truck gets there.....and while trying to get it on there, my splitter cracks!
so i apologize, but these are the only photos i have for now....
Rolling shot...
pls excuse the filthy car, but as you can see...the rear wheel has a decent amount of concavity. and due to the spokes extending to the lip of the wheel, it certainly makes them look a lot bigger than 19's.

all good in the neighborhood!
hopefully i can get my car by Saturday, so i can shoot it as planned. but in the meantime, there's no doubt these wheels look sick on a e60! they are very deceiving in that they look more like 20's since the spokes reaches to the lip.

John, you are a trooper for following through with photos, given the situation.
You'd make an excellent battlefield photographer for Time Magazine!
Btw, wheels look great on your car!
