I got the reps installed today. One of the wheels has a slight out-of-round condition which was discovered after the tire was mounted. I looked at it while they spun it up and it looked OK, the lip just barely moves. I asked Factory Reproductions about it and they said if it causes vibrations they will replace it but my friend who owns the tire shop and me both agreed it should be fine. I'll get on a freeway tomorrow and check for sure. Anyway, not bad for winter wheels.View attachment 185771 View attachment 185772 View attachment 185773 View attachment 185774 View attachment 185775

Love it. Just an FYI, when that little red spot wears off the tire, it might slow down a little.

damn, thats a nice set of winter wheels. i love the way 22's look on these NBS'. It just feels right to me. 24's look great as well. But i generally like 22's on trucks and 19's on cars. Looks great, Mark!

Hit the freeway this morning and did a couple runs up to 90. Wheels are smooth as silk, no vibrations at all. So that makes me happy, I don't need to worry about sending a wheel back. I didn't think it was going to be a problem but there was that little thought in the back of my head saying " what if". It was a 55 zone and there was traffic so I didn't get the 120 MPH test done yet but if it doesn't shimmy at 90 I'm sure I'll be ok.
