20" winter setup

I decided to go with the 20" avant guard ruger mesh in black and PA4 tires. Here's a quick shot.

Overall I'm impressed with the setup, feels much less mushy then other winter setups I have.

The only comment I have about the wheels is that the socket holes are waaaayyyy too small! I had to tap two of the lug nuts into the sockets to squeeze them in. The lugs nuts literally rub the socket holes, not smart. The socket tool which comes we the kit because of the custom lug nuts, also easily gets stuck in the sockets. I will send them feedback.

Better shot. How do I attach more than only jpg at a time without having to post links? Seems like the tool here only allows one at a time.

Wheels look great. I opted for the 20" OZ Ultraleggera HLTs painted black with the PA4s. The rear rims are on back order at Tire Rack, so I hope to get them within the next few weeks. Hope it remains warm enough to drive safely until then, and will post some pics after I have them mounted on the car. Hope they look half as nice as your set-up.

Nice. Did you have any issues getting the lug nuts in the slots?

I had heard that the AG Ruger Mesh had some difficult bolt issues, but the M510's were quite easy to access. They came with their own lugs and a tool that attaches to your torque wrench that made it no problem.
