Rody,
The wheels look great! In addition, the combination of the 172s and clear headlights makes your car look just like the LCI models.
Can't wait to see the wheel/tire combo in person. I believe you mentioned you can't make it to Bimmerfest. I hope you can make the Malibu Canyon Meet in June or July. That drive will certainly test if you have any rubbing issues.

Joe,
I guess it does look like the LCI, which is good because I like the changes to the LCI look (exterior only). However, it does mean that the look of my car won't be as unique as I would have liked.
Hopefully I will be able to attend the meet and you will be able to see the wheel/tire combo. However, I am not completely thrilled with the tire width of the INVO's vs. the wheel width, especially the fronts. As I said before I like the square shoulder look, but the actual sidewall on the front tires is BARELY even with the edge of the rims.

Yeah...that's weird. The Valley is a big place though, and I live at the north end while you are at the South end (I think).

Rody did you find your camera?? 
Actually I wouldn't mind it if it were permanently "misplaced" as it would give me an excuse to buy a new one. It was almost 6 years old and the kids had dropped it way too many times, so it didn't work all that great. But I know that as soon as I'm ready to buy a new camera it will turn up somewhere.
