As long as they aren't polished I'd say anything is fine. Definitely needs some 11" out back.

I vote for the fm-5's not because of the $$$, but because of the weight saving, and I think they are the cleanest rims for our cars. if I had the money i would put them on mine in a heart beat.

I sort of agree, though lately I haven't been feeling black as much as in the past. On your car Thomas it just works.
