Pleasantly Surprised

So, due to a few unfortunate events I got rid of my factory wheels/tires (17 staggered) to better handle this winter's German snowstorms. Now that I'm in Knoxville, I've been looking like a madman for a decent summer set (19's).

I decided I HAD to get off the winter setup as the temperature rose, but I couldn't decide what i wanted. So i made the decision to snag some inexpensive wheels w/ the tires I'd be happy with. Soooo (to make a longer story less long) i just order a set of Bremmer Kraft B02's (with the Hankook Evo's) and TPMS from the "Rack". Whole thing, shipped...$1300 and some change. Ironically, I LOVE EM! they were just a $400 stopgap until I decide on what I really wanted but they look pretty damn good on my Tasman Green. I'll post pics as soon as the rain stops.

Moral of this story, if you want to upgrade to 19's but don't want to drop the coinage for a set cause you're still undecided, $400 for a set of solid staggered 19's ain't a bad option (while you battle between V718's and SF-71's, what color, etc)...Hell, you might eve like'em.

My center caps cost as much as one of those wheels. You get what you pay for.

Hit a few decent potholes so far and everything's still there. And I understand that these are not Forged wheels. As stated, they were temporary stopgap.

...and for the record, everything expensive isn't always the best. If that was the case, I'd be driving a Cadillac CTSm They're hella expensive, but not better than my 3.
