I like 'em... prolly why I bought a set... but I've got 17X10 in the back which gives it a different look. What series rubber are you running there?

I find with these wheels they look completely different depending on what angle you are looking from... if you take a 3/4 shot they look much better.

White and chrome/polished aluminum isn't my favourite combo either... but I think they look way better than stock on your car. This pic shows some perspective compared to a stock wheel:

i dont really like em . I dont know what it is but it just doesnt look good to me . But if you like them thats all that counts. I mean they arent a bad choice but i just dont know . They would probably grow on me if i had them . but o well.

I liked them, until I saw them on a 3rd gen. It may just be the white/chrome combo like the earlier post, or maybe cuz they'd look better in 18" IMO, but hmm....still cool rims though

they are 245/45/17 rubber and now that i got 17's i wish i would have went 18's and went wider in the back. they do look different at every angle which some are better then others and they are still way better then what used to be on it. i ended u[p paying just over 1500 for them and the tires so ti wasn;t a bad deal but possibly i might get different rims next year

JohnyIROC post soem pics of them on your car
