Well...shucks. They already got the Hankook tires in and it'll cost me more $$$ to ship them back. The 265-35s are supposedly only .2" taller. I hope they won't be that noticeabley taller than the 295-30s.
I would try to ebay them. I have seen this exact setup and it was noticable to me. The thickness is what will look odd.
402, any word on these in silver? It looks like they make them. I'd be all over a set if you could get silver.
Hey, Raymond-
I would suggest that you just take 'em apart & have the centers powdercoated, but although these LOOK like 3-pc wheels, I believe they are actually 1-pc. It can still be done, but it would be much more of a PITA.
Please correct me if my assumption on the construction is wrong.
I agree, these in silver would look perfect on your car!

Hey Jay,
I considered that until I went to the Sevas website. They make the wheel in silver. No reason to spend the extra cash for powdercoating if I don't need to. I just don't know if they make it for the 300 in silver yet but their webpage shows all 3 finishes for the LX's.
I have a 2 week vacation in Hawaii coming up in August so I'm not in any rush to spend any money now anyway. Hopefully by September/October they'll have them available. All chrome would be my 2nd choice, plus chrome is cheaper too.

Sorry, but the dumb arse Sevas co. only makes the Silver for BMWs. WEAK! Otherwise I would have ordered the silvers instead.
If you really want Silver, get the black ones, scuff the paint, and shoot them in silver.
PITA to mask off all those rivets. You could try to remove them, but you'll prolly break them and at $.60/ea, it'll add up. But still cheaper than forged 3-piece and these suckers are relatively light (36lbs for the 22x10.5s).

teahead, those look awesome. I think they look better back with a black car. I think you might just be used to those chrome wheels and door handles. I think you could still keep the door handles and go with the black inserts. Damn those are going to look good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this time Sevas has no plans to produce these in silver in the 5x115 bolt pattern. We have developed a pretty good relationship with the owner of the company and I have made that suggestion to him. I guess we'll have to see to he does the Silvers for 08. All the orders are done for this season already.
