Thanks man. I'm looking forward to your setup - when are you going to put them on? I bought my KW HAS from Mops (Ben) at Supreme Power. He's an awesome guy who can source pretty well any part you want. Feel free to email him and ask. It takes about 3-4 weeks to deliver as it comes from Germany. Mops@Supremepower.com
Unfortunately I hit a few small snags with the Vossens. One of the wheels had a manufacturing defect - the center bore for the cap was too small on one of them and the center cap didn't sit flush. Plus the rim was all scratched up from the technician trying to force it in. I spoke to Tag and Vossen both, and they're sending me a new wheel today to make it right. I would have put it on in the meantime to see how they fit, but hit another small snag - Tag didn't send the lug bolts and locks that I ordered with the wheels.
It's been a bit of a disappointment, but Tag (and Vossen) have been great in working with me to make it right. Hoping to have them on by the weekend.
Seriously. Navarra is great too, but I'm super impressed with the silver. I'm not normally a fan of light silver colors, but something about the graceful lines of this car just really make it look fantastic.

Thanks for that. I think I might have asked him in his build thread (maybe on AZ) and he did say they were available, but I didn't get any further in the process. I'll reach out to him. I'm about an hour from Wilmington myself, so I might just go up there to get the install done as well. Would do it myself but I hear it's a pain on the S5.
