When I swap my street wheels back on I will do a fitting again and get some pics.

I was gonna use these for winter, but Im afraid if any salt or stones get got in there, it will really do some damage.

Here are some pics of the wheel.
The part number from the wheel is the correct one for the EU spec wheel.
Could you do me a favor before you put tires on them? Snap a photo of the outside of the barrel (that will eventually be inside the tire) of the hole for the valve stem? The Style 219's have a flat spot for the TPMS sensor there, and I'm wondering if the Style 260's have it too.

Also, do the 260's look "close enough" to the 219's that you could put 260's on the front and 219's on the back without looking strange?
