Had the wheels I've been waiting on for ages fitted today.
The tyres are non-runflat continentals. The ride and road noise is about the same -not been very far yet though.
The car IMHO looks better but only terms of the rear 275's and 19". I did like the 135's but I prefer the bigger wheels which seem to fill the arches better.

i'm glad i didn't hold out for them though .. purely because it would have taken too long.
but love 'em.

Great lookin' rims, but looks like you'll need dental floss to clean them properly.
