My first post... My new wheels :)
After several months of reading, searching, etc. I finally decided to post for the first time. Thanks to all of you that have posted your research, articles and experiences... I bought my CS in June of 07 and absolutely LOVE it...

I just installed new wheels and tires as a Christmas gift to myself...
What do you all think? I'm quite pleased.

Avus Forged 3 Piece 502's 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear with Nitto Invo 235/35 and 305/30 tires.

These are the first pictures...I'll get better ones but it is raining and I'm not pulling the car out of the garage

I took advantage of the killer price they had during the warehouse move and ownership change

I got the color idea while at SEMA with some of my buddies and from looking through a few magazines and at the COR wheel web site.

Thanks!!

Welcome to the swamp!

Those wheels look easy enough to clean/wheel wax without removal! ANd the dark interior of them will somewhat mask any brake dust.

Nice ride - what other mods do you have (the exhaust doesn't look stock either)?

Welcome. Car looks great! Red is my favorite color right after yellow. I like that wheel combo on your car, congratulations.

Enjoy it.

Majority of custom wheel companies put the valve stem behind the insert of the wheel, making it more aesthetically pleasing and easier to clean so you don't always hit the damn valve stem while cleaning the lip!

The valve stem is indeed on the inner barrel tucked behind the spokes on the center at an angle easy to get to
