Thats what I have, I like em' but alot of people don't. It seems some of the kits sag in the rear (mine doesn't luckily) but its just something to keep in mind. Strano is suppose to have some good springs if you wanna check them out, they are a sponsor ----->

wheels look great, but may i suggest painting your side vents another color? looks like they are red right now.. doesnt really work with the car. what about a grey color similar to the center caps? i think that would look awesome with the same color calipers.

red on black stands out a lot... i like more of a subtle contrast, so i chose a gunmetal color as my accent color for my car, actually its GM paint medium gray metallic. I have been contemplating doing the side vents, but decided to wait until i get a ram air hood so i can do both sets of vents to tie it all together. Gunmetal would look killer on your car with those wheels though!!
