Default Weld RTS installed
Info for anyone considering this set up:

After 12 week of waiting (including 4 weeks of Weld dicking me around saying my wheels would ship the next day), I finally have my wheels on. I wouldn't recommend Weld to anyone but they do look awesome!

Fronts:
18X10 41MM with 285/35/18 Continental DWS06

Rears:
18X10.5 50MM with 295/35/18 Continental DWS06

Brakes are CTS V 4 pot (switching to 6 pot shortly). Car is sitting on Eibach Pro springs but I’m changing it over to coil overs.

Not too shabby. I agree the green and polished look good together.
