Hi guys and girls!

As some of you may know, I've ordered a set of new wheels for my car. It was a group buy arranged by a member on a Finnish BMW forum which I participated.
What makes the story quite interesting, is the fact that I made my order in the end of January! Yes, January!!! We made the order from Themodcity (Miami) shop, and the target was Iconz wheels.
I ended up to order Iconz 830ZRC in 20" with the matte black center. The fronts are 9" and the rears are 10" wide. I'll talk about the offsets later...

I'm posting couple of teasing pics for you now, and don't have much energy to go through all nasty details in the order process. But I can say, it's been a struggle !
The wheels are still in the States, and it will still take couple of months before they are here . Well, what's the hurry, I'll be changing my winter setup on my car next week. I really waited the wheels for this summer, but....

Here, what do you think?

Why would it take couple of months to ship it from US? You can ship it by air...although it will be a bit expensive. But if you're in a hurry bcause winter is coming then might as well wait
