Got my baby some new shoes...

Picture of the tire mounted...

The tire looks good on BBS wheel, but you should not expect to have the tires lasted more than 20k miles even if you rotate them every 5-6k miles.

Thanks for the compliment.

That's alright...I only drive 7,000 miles per year.

Also, I plan on rotating them every 3,500 miles.

Are you sure about those wheels' provenance? I think you may have been sold something you didn't actually get.

Those would be the first BBS CH I've seen that didn't have "MOTORSPORT" molded around the wheel center. The CH also doesn't have spokes that run all the way to the rim flange or the raised areas at the point of the "V" at the wheel's center.

Just thought you should know.

I thought they were the CH model, but I may be mistaken...I know they are legit though, they came as a dealer add-on from Toyota with my new Camry.

When you mentioned them being a dealer add-on, I realized why I didn't recognize them. They're one of BBS' specials that they produce for automakers. They were easy to identify after it occurred to me what they were.

Avalon & Camry 18” BBS Wheel (00012-90854-01)

That's quite a deal for a BBS wheel. If they're anything like their aftermarket wheels, they'll look great for many, many years. Nice buy!

Yes. On my luxo sedan the 275/40/20 tires last about 15k miles.

They were on Vettes.
