Those pictures.... do you have hi-res, they must be my wallpaper.. So amazing!

Ferric gray wheels on (sterling?) gray 4.8is!... One more reason it should have come to the US.

Looks killer! I'm curious, does the X feel more stiff than before? Did you have 20's on before? If so, it's probably about the same.

I went from 18's to 215 20" reps and love the ride. A bit more stiff but great control.

I second the "tint your front window".

Looks perfect. Gorgeous color combo. And the spacing looks right on.

I run the stock 20" with BS duelers for summer and been using 18" with snows for the winter. Have to say (to my surprise) the ride and control is same if not better on Run Flats. Not stiff and comfort is about the same... so far. They are reasonably quiet as well. The life of the tires will be the true test. Not looking forward to replacing these suckers.

@DKing05 - only got my iPhone for pics. sorry

If they fit on 4.8iS, they fit on your 3.0 no problem.
