If you're interested. you'd be funding some Watanabes for the Ti.
Are you rocking old school Iverson's? I had a pair of those back in the day!

LMAO i just got an email a couple hours ago saying those wheels in hyperblack(black chrome) have been discontinued. So i had to order a similar wheel in gunmetal. I think it'll still look really good, but i was excited about black chrome. Ohh well

The dimensions are 18"x8.5". I went ahead and took some advice just went for 18s.

Those wheels are going to look great on it! I, too, think the black chrome would look the best but either way I think the style of the wheel is great for your car. Good choice!

I figured you would, for whatever reason companies just don't respect the 17" anymore. There's so much more variety in 18's and they'll probably fill your wheel well up a bit better.

Thanks, i hope they look good. Its very rare to find a 135 with anything other than flat black wheels, so i wanted to try something a little different. Btw, i got the car back from the dealer today so if you and sam wanted to hang sometime this weekend LMK. i'd love to check out the M5.

For sure! A few of us are doing some photo's and video tomorrow if you want to try to get together at some point in time. Weather is supposed to be nice.

We're planning to have a good lookin' model Saturday or Sunday.
