[QUOTE=BlueToy;3282206]Hey Octane-

Here are a few examples that should get you close. The first two are matte grey Breytons, and the last three are for color only.

Do it! It will look sweet! I was so torn over grey vs silver vs black. I think those will look sweet though.

In looking at a tire size calculator, your 205/40/17's have a diameter of 23.45" while my 215/45/17's are 24.61". So cut that in half for the true value at the edge of the wheel and I am sitting .6" closer to the wheel well than you were pre-drop. I hate to spend the money in labor for the drop and cut the bump stops only to find out I rub in the back going over bumps.

argh....

Ok one quick picture I snapped with phone. Washing and detailing the car tomorrow and will get much better pics.

09 JCW with 18" w/ 5mm spacers refinished with correct mini wheel paint code. Center caps came in silver so I had them painted black but ordering a set of new black ones.

And I gotta be honest here... There are not many pictures that I have seen that even kind of do them justice. They are so impressive in person.

If you don't mind - how much did you pay for these? And where did you buy them?

I made up my Mind. Breytons are it! After months of searching, I'm going with 18s. Now my new dilemma ! Black or Matt Grey!

That's a really tough call. I vote matte grey, only because you see so many black wheels. Either way your good though
