Well, that's a F*ckin' bad photshop of those rims, but I have those in 17" on my ride. I think they look decent, and I got them for $900, wrapped in Yoko A4 rubber as well. I have dropped my car an inch though, and if you go for those rims, I suggest you do the same, otherwise you will have mad wheelwell spacing. The person who posted before though was right...they are a bitch to keep clean, and take care of. I'll post some pics when I get the chance.
