Default Bought some wheels and no, they're not Rotas

Just ordered a set of 949Racing 6UL in 15x7.5" +34 front and 15x8" +36 rear. The 7.5" weigh 12.2 lbs, the 8" weigh 12.8 lbs. Going with Hankook RS-2 Z212 in 205/50-15 front and 225/45-15 rear.

Not my car but here's the wheels (these cars are running the 15x8" +36 and 225/45-15 on the fronts but that seemed like a bit too much for me hence my choice of staggered fit):







I'll probably keep the center caps on. h:

Because I only like the Z4 M and don't want to drop that kind of coin. I like my car just fine.

Post pics when you get them on.

I'm running staggered too...195/50 on the OEM wheels and 205/50 on 15x7 Aguzze SO7. It looks ugly as hell but I got a flat in one tire and I've gotta burn the rest of the rubber somehow. h:

So, in my haste to place my order and snap up the last two nickel-finish 15x8's they'll have til like the fall time, I put my office as my shiping address. And since they're not shipping out til the 25th I haven't yet ordered tires.

There's a Discount Tire like 2 blocks from my house but neither the Discount Tire nor the Discount Tire Direct websites list the 225/45-15 Z212's. Today I'm going to call the local store and see if they can be oh so helpful and not only special order the tires for me but also let me have the wheels shipped to them.
