Looks hot Ben. I definitely prefer these over the OZ's. The mesh look always seems to work well on P-cars. I'm glad you sorted out all the issues with delivery. Any more angles?
How do you like the Michelins compared to the Bridgestones? 315s? that's HUGE...it must look like a tank from the back!
I'm guessing a few more months before the next set? ha ha.

I Just bought the C4s 1 week ago. I wanted to know did you paint the splitter/lip or did you purchase that from somewhere? Where did you get it from? I have one on my car but it's black. I was thinking about painting it. By the way your car looks sick with those rims.

I purchased the wheels from Alan Baylis @ www.wheelenhancement.com. I've always heard good things about him and even with some issues I had with his non-proactive communication and shipment error, at the end of the day, he seems like a good guy and I would buy from him again because relatively speaking many other auto vendors revel in customer service mediocrity.
Anyways, specs are 19x8.5 up front and 12s in the rear. The offsets/widths are the same as the OZ3s I have which are currently for sale. I'm always switching up wheels like I switch up shoes/women - call it a weakness of mine.
The wheels usually take 4-5 weeks to assemble/ship out from Japan, but there was a delay due to lack of supply on the rim part which wasn't great news. I ended up paying Alan my deposit on 8/23 and received the Brombachers on 10/19 (~8 weeks). I setup time with my shop on 10/22 only to find out the offset was incorrect for the fronts to where the brake caliper (stock) clearance was less than a credit card width which is way too close for comfort. Alan on the phone said they sell this fitment all the time which I call BS on since the +51s I got are absolutely spot-on v. the way too aggressive +45. To me, it sounds like he was just covering his **** for a mistake he made or his importer made for 996 widebody fitment with the bigger brakes.
Alan did step up to the plate and overnighted at his cost the correct front wheels so I ended up getting them put on the very next day (huge props to www.cantrellmotorsport.com). Alan also paid for the extra mounting/balance fees since it was his error. I applaud Alan for the quick turnaround and doing the right thing along this front.
I will likely never order wheels again as I am very impatient about things like this. Unfortunately, they simply don't stock 19x12s since it's such a small niche of the cars that can fit this size. I'm in love with the steamroller look so I like to go as wide as possible. Tires are Michelin PS2 315/25s in the back.
I am very happy with the look and quality of the Work Brombachers and will likely keep these for as long as I own the C4S.
Best,
Ben

i'll try to get more pics with my real camera v. phone.
mich v. bs, it's virtually the same. the pole positions are a little cheaper per tire so i'd pick those, but they don't make 315/25/19s yet if ever. if you check out the latest evo mag with the ///M cars on the cover, they do a tire test and the goodyear eagle F1 asymms kick BS/Mich ****, but again, it's all splitting hairs since the numbers are so damn close. choose your weapon and go with what you like really.
haha who knows what i'll end up with if its even teh same car! thx, flash. i'll get those pics for you asap bud.

the front lip is the c4s/turbo aerokit factory lip. you can order it from phil coy at sunset imports. it comes unpainted. the one on your car isn't nearly as aggressive as the aerokit version i'm guessing. you can definitely tell the diff, though it's integrated enough to look very clean aka factory.
