Yeah brake dust is going to be a pain in the a$$. I think I may just try those brake pads. I also heard that if you spray Rain-X on your rims that it will help keep them brake dust free but I've never tried it so I don't know if that is true.

ok guys, here are the pics as promised. The last picture where I measured the lip was difficult since the rims curve. I guess you'll just have to believe me that it's 4" in the rear and 2.5" in the front. Let me know what you think.

I love em. It drives great and feels great. I love the way they look too. The only minor issue I'm having is that the rear tires get a little rubbing if I corner too hard, so I'm going to get the rear fenders rolled and see about getting some coilovers put on to tighten up the suspension. Maybe some stabilizer bars too.

I would say that comfort is the same if not improved a little. I didn't really believe everyone when they said that the runflats were such a harsh ride until I got these on and expected it to be really rough but it ended up being the same if not better. And as for performance, if I didn't have the slight rubbing whenever I corner hard then it would be the same also. I'm hoping that just rolling the fenders will take care of it, but if not then stiffening up the suspension ought to do the trick.

I'm not sure what the stock tire sizes are, but I had the style 138 wheels and stock runflat tires.
