Nice looking rims! Question about the tread pattern, looks like the front passenger is backwards, or am I seeing things?

+1. You're not seeing things. Compare it to the rear passenger.Definitely mounted wrong ! Geezer- You should take that back right away.
Nice rims though. We need a side view shot of the 5 !

very sweet. black on gold looks great. too bad we cant fit the p45r's. that would be even better.

you guys are right.. i just looked at it all it is the front right should have been on the left and vice versa... the tire wall has an arrow indication of how the rotation ought to be. i'll swap it tomorrow.

hopefully there will be daylight tomorrow i will definitely take a side view picture of it.

Lookin good! If you would be so gracious as to get a tight, head on shot like this http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/382/avs3wd9.th.jpg (http://img165.imageshack.us/my.php?image=avs3wd9.jpg) so we can see how flush the fitment is.
And if you want, I'll add you to the unofficial fitment thread.

Either way PM me would ya? I've got some questions :)

What kind of tires are those? I need to have a list of tires that I like for when I need to upgrade them.
