Thanks! I wanted some lip, didn't get quite as much as I wanted. With the OTG spacers, they should look pretty good. Now I gotta withstand the torture of not being able to put them on for a month or two..hehe

gawd, it's tough having rims but not being able to put them on. I was keeping mine from my parents and gf so I was going through the same thing for a while. lol.

Nice rims.

Those wheels look nice and clean! Are they German wheels? I was gonna say they look a lot like Borbets. BTW, what size tires you have on there? Your cardomain page says the wheels are 17x7, but those tires look a bit stretched.

According to the brochure and the inside of the wheel, they are 17x7, but I believe otherwise...I think they are a 17x7.5. The tires are 215/45-17 and on my old 17x7 Motegis, they fit a little different. As far as what country the wheels are from, I bought them here in Germany, but the wheel itself says "made in Italy" so I assume the Germany company just used centercaps with their name on them and OEM the wheel from an Italian company.

EDIT: I just found the website http://www.platin.it/index2.html

It's an italian url, but the text is all German...lol...the physical address is German too. Maybe the physical address is the distributor.

Keskin Wheels? I'll look them up. I will probably be getting a new set when we go back to the US. And I didn't take offense on the reminder....I was actually glad you mentioned that!
