Finally got the car clean enough (for having a dirt driveway) to show these off. They are Niche Essens 19x10 +40 with 275/40/19 Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position tires. Thanks again to Paul at Need4Speed for the great deal on the wheels :headbang:.

It is interesting to note that the front center caps fit without spacers. I know this has been a problem with other Essen owners, I'm not sure why this is, perhaps it has something to do with the base 2 piston brakes?

Not worth the time, One trip in and out of the drive and they will be dirty again.

looks good now for some water based tire shine. try this out at your local pepboys. was the only place i found it. Great tireshine gives a nice sheen to the tires. i dont like the high gloss look.

Look good. I have the Essens on my Black GT in 20x10s.

The center caps are an issue on the 20x10 up front. Require a small spacer is all, no big deal.

I dont know why the 19x10 would fit up front but not the 20x10 if they're both +40. Maybe the GT is set up differently with the different calipers.

Yeah it is strange. I left mine off at first but decided to see if they fit and they just poped right on, no problem.

The only thing I can thing of is the clearances are different up front on the 2 piston V6/Eco calipers vs the Eco PP/GT 4 piston brakes.

its due to the concave profile between the wheels, the 20x10 is a tad more concave by a few mm thus causing a bit of a deeper drop in the center which doesnt allow the cap to sit flush.

Those look great! Great choice with the Essens, they're probably one of my favorite styles from Niche!
