another MS on EKM3's
 
just put em on today, so not alot of driving time. 18x7.5 with 45 offset. tires are 225/45/18 continental dws. Had to slightly roll the rear fenders, they were rubbing, but not anymore. Paint finish on these are super nice, water just beads right off these. They are brighter than I was expecting though, a little more flashy than I thought they would be, also they look small to me, almost like 17's, but I am guessing thats the dark paint...dark is slimming right?lol

but they are growing on me. Came with GREAT lugs and hub centering rings free of charge from tirerack.

The tires dont look as wide as the nitto invo's I have on my stock rims. The nitto's also handle better, the dws has a soft sidewall, but they ride down the road silky smooth and absolutely silent.

Hopefully the dws wont disappoint. They are 540 treadwear, so 50K mile tire, the invo's were 260 and had 25K miles on them with 3-4/32's left. Oh the dws are 11/32. DEEP tread.supposedly the dws is almost impossible to break loose in the wet, cant wait to find out.
