Yikes!

Paint flaking on the wheels... Paint chipping on the... paint. :(

I found the winter tires I was looking for. Gonna hold out on getting the new alloys for next summer. Need to look some more.

I went on ebay and bought a beautiful set of 4 rims for $500.00 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/18x8-Vision-Sho ... 540e068228

They go great with my black car.

Ooooh, that is a nice looking wheel. I could do without the dots around the edge of the black part, but that's a minor quibble.

Now I do. KW

I don't know if the KW is still available, but you can can get pretty low with the OE setup if you swap the springs out and pull up the attachment points. But that's a topic better suited for a PM or another thread.

Our car had 20" on it that the original owner took off and put the original 18s back on. They had fit fine with no rubbing or other issues.

The paint flaking off really sucks. There is a tsb on it, so if your car is in the 3yr bumper to bumper, you can get them refinished/repaired/replaced for free!
