My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Carbon Black
So I ordered a set of TSW Nurburgrings (Previous Thread) more than a month ago.
The four tires were mailed together, but because of size constraints and the fact that the wheels could only be shipped to me via USPS to APO, the post office would only accept the fronts for Priority mail, and the rears had to be mailed regular parcel post (the boxes were .5" too big in dimensions for priority).
The fronts arrived after a week or so, and the rears finally got here, almost a month and a week later! Needless to say, I wasted no time in changing the tires, and here they are!
First, the car with the old winter tires (18x8 ASA GT1 on 245/40R18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM60):
And now the new 19x9/10.5 TSW Nurburgrings on 245/35 and 275/30 (sorry, the car was poorly washed, i wanted pictures quick!)
In my excitement I forgot to take a standard side shot of the car. Tomorrow! Enjoy.

I appreciate the comments!
It's actually not a true black on black - the color is carbon black (hints of blue), and the wheels are a dark gunmetal, but I think the pictures might be a bit too dark. so it's dark without the total loss of contrast in a blacked out setup. tomorrow i'll post a side shot and it should show the color a bit better.

Wheels look great! I'm very relieved to hear that your rears has arrived without issues (although it took so much longer!!) :thumbsdown:
