You have got to post pics when you get them put on. I actually just bought the 280's in black earlier today for my red '02 and will be putting the chrome 281 back on my black '00.

The 255 on the front may work. my 245's are about flush with the edge of the wheel.

Wheels arrived Friday what a mess, NO fault of VQMotoring who we called to tell them about the delivery, they have been brilliant, you could not find a more helpfull team, anyway FEDEX was the shipping agent, the 4 boxes arrived destroyed and wet, both 20" wheels are damaged, wheel nuts and centering rings missing, so I guess the battle for replacement begins, after the cost to get them here I was gutted, brought in a set with them several months ago perfect, don't care what went wrong, so may be a while before they are fitted
