Thanks! Yea, those are a set of 19" BMW style 230s (offered as OEM at one point) that I bought used. (Also bought the brakes used.) You know the only thing going for those wheels though are looks, they are heavy and don't ride nearly as nice as 18s. I have to be careful driving around the street with those. Pic was taken with -2.8d up front, -2d back.

AJ, "excessive" and "acceptable" are subjective I guess. I have 1/8 toe in, maybe even a little less, so I believe I get acceptable wear. I have more wear on the outside shoulder from, um, turning "spiritidly" and I can also rotate all four. So I even drive winter at -2.8d. I only drive maybe 500 miles all winter, so that probably has an affect on "acceptable". Vorshlags do make some noise and add some discomfort. My car sounds like a truck from inside too because I removed the head cover and the "tray" (for heat evacuation and because I got lazy - I change my brake fluid a lot). As long as it's acceptable to my wife, it's acceptable to me.
