Here's how the BD-F25 looks like from the side. Hope it helps!

Damn, bro, every time I see your car I feel like it keeps looking better and better! Your car looks amazing, and those BD-F25's look amazing in silver. That's the basic silver finish as it came from BD, right? You didn't have them re-finished, did you? As far as the 305's fitting the 12's, there's a bit of stretch, but no problem at all. The other dude got ripped off by his tire shop, unfortunately. Worst part is it looks like they just sold him 1-size up to a 315.

Thank you so much for your kind words. They are the factory brushed silver. I have not altered them at all. I fell in love with these wheels the first time I saw them and knew they were the ones. My plan is once I wear the rear tires out to go to either a 315 or 325. My real wish would be for BD to make them in a 21" for the rear as i think that would be absolutely perfect on this car but as of now they only make them in 20 and 22.

One of the best custom wheels I have seen so far, in both styling and stance, as well as the color and polish! Had I not purchased GM's trident spoke wheels which I am now stuck with, I'd go for exactly this.

I'd have to agree. Perfect.

In these pics it looks a bit off to my eye. Rear tire is too beefy relative to the front rubber band, and it needs to be lowered.
