Looks good, man! I have had the Edge Sport wheels sitting in my garage for over a year now. Are the adapters just so the wheel is pushed out more? Or is it necessary?
 






Yes, to push them out, they are only 9 inch.
 


















I have always loved those Edge Sport wheels, they look great on your ride.

What's the idea of the spacers?.....beefier look from behind?

Are the Conti Sport's a noticeably stickier tire?
 






Didn't notice it at first but looking at your first picture, the hood almost looks silver instead of gray. Weird.

Thanks guys! I love them too, even better than my other Edge 22's.

The 'adapters', will bring the wheel/tires further out of the wheel well for a more 'flush' fit with the fender lip, plus gives it a wider track.

The Conti's are a beautiful tire. They are rated as a 'max performance summer tire'.
I would have stayed with Pirelli, but their 285/22's only come in a '35' AR, too low for my liking.

Just angle of light hitting it, all paint matches Peter.

"Adapters" are fun until they start become loose and a tire almost falls off when your driving on the highway... Scary ****....It happened to me with Eibach spacers.
 






Looks really good!
