Awesome photochop job, but the rims are kinda bland IMO. I would tell you to save your money and opt for something else.

No I dont really like them all that much. If I diddent have to buy spacers it would be worth the $50 , but I think Im going to go with the newer stock wheels.

Those rims are going cheap for a reason IMO.
I think if your going for the forth gen rim look then go for the WS6 style.
