    I decided to sand down and paint instead of completely stripping the wheels down and then applying the chemical sealant and either powdercoating or paint.

    I forget the exact silver color code but can check with the painter.

    The tires are Sumitomo HTR ZIII

    225/40/18 and 285/35/18

    I'm using the Hill Engineering bolts from Daniel and the spacer.

    My original 348 tires were 225/45/17 and 255/45/17.

    Car definitely turns easier. Almost like a gained power steering. Have only driven about 50 miles but the car feels really good. Will post a better picture from the rear when I get home.

    Got the little horsie's on. Will take a pick tomorrow in sunlight at Santana Row.

    I decided against the Speedline stickers. I don't think they need free advertising from me... :)

    Thanks for the compliments. The wheels I got from Matt were white but I thought that would be too much, white on white since they were not identical.

    I know people will eventually ask: DUFTE is a German/Berlin slang term for "awesome", "super", "cool"...
