Well my street finally thawed out a few weeks ago and finally got around to ordering tires and sensors for these things. Been a long (almost) 3 months staring at the boxes, so I was excited to get them mounted and set up. The tire rack guys had some trouble getting the PS4S on the wheels, and had some air leaks around the beads the first try with 2 but they seem to be good to go now. I threw some black bolts on for now since the Ti bolts seem to be sold out everywhere at the moment (probably because of this group buy). Took a quick pic in the garage for now, don't pay any mind to the dirty car (and floor), still needs the spring bath. Loving these wheels though, beautiful color, wonderful fitment. Gabriella in Brushed Champagne 18/19.

I‘d just like to see ‘em in sunshine.😁. I know it’s a tall ask given you’re in the UK. 😂
Edit: Mine’ll be fitted by Friday. Funnily enough it looks like a working week of cloudy weather this week.🙄
No problem buddy, we should have 4 days in June, so I'll see what I can do.

I finished at midnight and this morning I've parked it at the train station on my way to work sadly! Hopefully later in the week.

I can see the appeal on your car. The colored breaks it up a bit.
Agreed, on the rear especially the pop of colour highlights the concavity. I kept one side with the BSPK caps to see how I feel, but even though they're a higher quality product, on this colour combination, the OEM is the one for me.

Think it makes them look like they're an OEM wheel, and with them being a real Alfa design , I think that's a nice thing

I wanted the same color as my OEM teledial, but Gunmetal gloss is lighter. It's more grey and less black. Anyway I think it's nice with the white 4C.

Yay that helped me big time or maybe made it that much harder but thanks for the comparison as I have the teledials like you and have been torn as I absolutely love the stockers as they truly are one of the best looking OE wheels ever. But I sure love the idea of lighter and no spacers to fill out the wheel wheels perfectly.

I’m with you on this. Thought the gunmetal gloss would be similar to our stock colour.
Either way I’m also super happy.

In the installed pics, are your center caps seated all the way in?
