I'll sell you the centercaps for $499 a set.

If you want your car to stand out above the rest, sometimes you just have to pull the trigger and spend a little more to get something more unique. Right now, Mike has the only set of these wheels in existence on a 4th gen.

Looks great! I loved the Fikse's, but the brushed centers look MUCH better than black on there.

Just plain....amazing.

You know what sucks? When you have a NBM Camaro with a Magnaflow and you see another one with wheels that are gorgeous and you know you will never be able to afford them.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone. Obviously, I'm VERY happy with them.

Thanks to Tony for the hookup on the wheels, to Tomzwheels for the great deal on the tires, and to Thunder Racing for the lugs.

I need a new sig pic.

I just got them, so the jury is still out, but here are my initial impressions. So there is a basis for comparison, I went from 275/40/17 BFG KDW's (KDW, not KDWS) on all four corners to 275/35/18's on the front and 295/35/18 on the back.

• Road noise - The Invos are quieter so far. A lot quieter.
• Comfort - Really good. I like them a lot. I was a little worried about going to a bigger wheel/smaller sidewall, but these are as good if not better than the KDW.
• Grip - Haven't tested...yet.
• Turning/Handling - So far, they haven't broken loose, and I got a little spirited driving home. The sidewall is a little soft for hard cornering.
• Tread pattern - You're either going to love it or hate it. I love it.
• Fit - I used to run 315/35/17's in the back, so my fender wells have already been beaten into submission. The 295/35/18's don't rub AT ALL!

Overall, I'm very happy with them for the 30ish miles I've had them so far. I wanted to step outside the usual Nitto 555/BFG KDW/Goodyear GS-D3 mold this time. I figured I was getting really unique wheels, so I should get some unique tires to go with them. I did some searching before I bought them and it came down to Vredesteins and Invos. The Vredesteins were backordered in the sizes I needed, so I got the Invos after talking to Pete at TomzWheels.

Like I said above, the sidewalls are a little soft, and that was the complaint I read on all the negative reviews of these tires. To me, though, that's not a bad thing. This is my fun/cruising car. If I decide to road race, I'll probably get different wheels and tires.

I'll try to remember to post a review of the tires after 1000 miles or so.
