Avant Garde Ruger Mesh like you haven't seen before...

Important disclaimer: I know I need to drop the car!

First, I need to take a moment to thank Matt at Campioni for the absolutely top customer service, responding my emails on a sunday at 10:00 PM and keeping me posted on the progress at all times, besides giving me an amazing deal on these wheels.
With the ultra low price, I was able to "splurge" into getting a true custom powder coat finish to get exactly what I wanted. The quality of the wheels is amazing. I had to take them to a ferrari dealership, so they could mount them and balance them and they swore they were HRE p40's (LOL!)
I love how the 7 group of spokes go all the way to the edge of the rim, to make the illusion the wheel is bigger than 19". Cleaning them is ultra easy as brake dust just slide off from the finish. The opening of the spokes is wide enough to show off your caliper/disc set up. I can imagine how good these wheels would look with somebody with 6 piston calipers!

I really like the charcoal/anthracite satin finish. At first, I ordered the matte, textured charcoal but the wheels were delivered satin finish instead. Boy, I am happy. After seeing first hand the texture finish, I don't think it's for me. The satin finish is a breeze to keep clean and the color actually changes depending on the angle of the light and the time of the day as seen in the pictures. Originally had my car on painted lobsters for a total murdered out look but I was looking for some contrast and it's amazing how well the charcoal wheels go with a black car.

My tire set up is nitto invos, 235 fronts and 305 backs. I will love to see if I can go for 245 fronts in the future...

Please enjoy the pictures

Awesome!! Looking at doing the same setup and wanted to see how that color matches up with Slate Grey Metallic? Also, PM the price if you don't mind.

They look fantastic. The color is very nice because unlike jet black it still shows all the details of the wheel.

Thanks guys! yes, the color is great... I wasn't too fond of gloss black and flat black wasn't flat enough. This is a great way to show all the details of the wheels!

I had PS2 245s on my Vorsteiner V-308s last year (they came that way from the Vorsteiner dealer). Switched to PSS 235s this year and the handling is much better, much more crisp. Don't go 245. You don't need that width up front. Plus you will have problems with rubbing if you drop the car.

Very nice looking rims. Subtle without bling. Don't think I'd drop it though. Looks good as-is.

Stunning. A drop would really take it to another level.

yes, it looks nicer dropped... (courtesy of CS5)

Maybe is the dog view of the wheel arches that make the gap look huge. The car has a brand new suspension, since the (mother****er) prior owner used to have coil overs and removed those to put the original, new suspension he took off the car when the car had 13 miles....

Awesome wheels Joel. Some lowering springs and you're set.
