Summer wheels sneek preview (BBS)

Just bought a summer set of wheels, BBS RS-GT's! I bought them used with snow tires on them. I was changing the snow tires onto the stock wheels for the winter but before I did that I test fitted the wheels. They look pretty good imo but they will look better w/o snow tires and less wheel gap. The wheel gap is from the car not being fully set onto the ground. I still need the correct centering rings and lugs. What you guys think?

they look pretty good and they'll look even better when the car settles. Are you lowered at all or is that the stock suspension?

Not a fan of chrome. Looks ok on white. What are the wheel specs?

Stock but it's still on the lift with no weight on the wheels, didn't have the spacers to set it down.

I wanted a wheel to go to the track with as well as everyday driving so I kept the semi stock specs to keep the weight down as well as keep the same balance. I didn't want an oversized wheel rubbing the fenders or a staggered setup witch would throw off the balance. These were the lightest mesh wheels I could find other then the RGR's which I couldn't find a deal on.
