Spacers may relieve the rear ghetto look... but, correcting offset via spacers is ghetto... so... If you're spending good money for new wheels, get ones that fit.

Mission Accomplished, I huddled with Ben at Wheels Boutique and we figured the whole thing out.

He has helped out tremendously!

Lucent,
I agree with most of your comments. The tire size and manufacture will directly relate to how the wheel and tire will look. I changed the manufactures because how there tires are designed. It's a long story but I got a little lesson on tires.

JP can appreciate my comment, based on both of my car experiences with a benz and the porsche.

JP.
I was with the Ferrari group today at the boat show in Ft. lauderdale and during lunch a couple of the guys asked if you ever got your wheels and if you were happy with the group that you purchased them from.

Mike just got the Tubi carbon fiber grille on his 360 and it looks sweet. He wants wheels before the x-mas holidays. I told him that I would follow up with you. I also got the machine that we were discussing and can not wait to start the mods. Wheels first of course.

Please update us with your experience, We are still waiting on your review. As you know Mike, Tom, and Fred all live in Miami (SoBe and Brickell) and they want to work with a wheel guy they can trust.

well those avus wheels are a thing of the past.
i purchased HRE 549r's with flat black centers and polished lips.
since hurricane wilma hit, UPS has no idea where the wheels are currently.
when i track them, no luck. i've even been told by UPS that they don't know where they are exactly and that they have to catch up.
where's fed ex when you need 'em? shiiiiit.
