Default New wheels are finally installed (pics inside)

I finally got some time to take some pics of my new wheels and tires.
The wheels were done by Panther Precision Machine located in Canada.
They are a machined face with a silver paint background. The wheels are quite different from the polished and chrome look. They are spectacular in person. The picture does not do them justice.

Those look great. I am beginning to like the painted wheel look more and more over the chrome. The painted ones just seem to go well with certain colors.

I recc. Panther very highly. Their customer service is far beyond anything I have experienced here in the states. I don't know if it's a Canada thing or a well run business thing. But, they are awesome. They went way beyond what I expected to get the job done for me.
They are one top-notch outfit.
You will not be disappointed.
