Thanks guys - I will definitely use some sort of trim restore - thankfully most of the defects can be repaired with some elbow grease

Are you satisified with the quality of those wheels? How about the weight compared to stock? I'm thinking of those for my winter set, seems like they'd do pretty well. I sawa them posted on ebay and a couple other sites so it seems they are still available.

Satisfied with weight and quality. Never cared about weight so don't know. Only thing I don't like is the tight space for the stud bolts/lugs. You'll want to use a thinwall socket if you want to avoid scratches inside the holes.

Please share the link to the wheels. Last time I checked none were available, at least the 20x9.5 size. I want to get a spare if not two.

BTW .. the set of four cost something like $1100-$1200. I hope they went down in price too.
