The dealership I go to won't be able to install the wheels until Tuesday.
I only trust 1 person there to drive the car and shes off until then.

The car likely hadn't been driven enough for it to settle after getting the wheels on. My car sits 1"+ lower than it did when I put the 20s on.

Looks great, Mel!
