Love the tint i'm not a fan of black rims with black paint but you pulled it off for me they look nice with that lip
What darkness tint did you get , looks like its past the legal limit in my area. i could only get 25%

Looks great, andy. I just got my 20's put together on Friday but I'm having what I believe are the beginning stages of tranny failure so I'm reluctant to put them on. Yesterday was beautiful and would have been perfect, had I not heard/felt the "bang" into first gear when I went to get the car washed.

Thanks all. The tint is 20% and may be illegal but that is now(what I was told) a gray area in PA because they just removed it from the inspection checklist for annual inspections. I agree that I need blackouts. Next month maybe. I am on a small budget for this car due to the girlfriend's insistence. Whatever I guess we shall see.

While it may pass inspections, it's still illegal to do anything lower than 70%...so be careful and respectful when the cop eventually pulls you over.

She wants me to spend my money buying property while the market is dumping. She ha the right idea so it's all good. She is the one that pushed me to get the rims and tint anyways. She has a 07 Jetta with rims and tint so she wanted me to follow suit, lol

Yeah, Nacho...I know. They're stacked in my hall, just like the tires were since early winter. I'm having a hard time finding someone who will roll the rear fenders...but I think I'm getting closer in that aspect. I plan to put the back ones on tomorrow and bounce on the car a bit to see how close/bad it really is, and if it's negligible, I'll keep'em on until I get it done. Gotta talk to Corny40, though...he had the same fitment issue (same offset/tire size) and I can't recall how bad he said the rubbing is.
Buff we all need to start Whatever to get GM to take care of these tranny issues everyone
seems to get. My GP was in the shop 5 times before they got it right. A Austrialan guy at the shop here rebuilt it and said for the issues it was having we would never be back with except for normal maintenance.Maybe GM can learn from them
