Thanks to those who like my current set up. I wouldn't be changing them if it were not for the bad vibration i get at 70 - 80MPH. Never had the problem till I had to run 1/8" spacers after installing new brake pads. I guess Ruff's QC is not up to par. Looks like they did there test fit on one that had at least 50% brake pa wear. After new pads went in the caliper axpands with the new pads and the rim hits the caliper. So now I haveto run 1/8" spacers!
spacers??!!!!!DO NOT BUY RIMS THAT REQUIRE A SPACER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'm too old, but I'm not a fan of rims that have the one tiny strip of color on them that matches the car. It's like changing the color of your shoelaces to match your pants.

And to top it off, you see it on riced-out cars, like large wings, fart cans, and tons of stickers.

I believe the rims on the Mercedes would look best. Although, all the other rims look nice the Mercedes' rims have the cleanest look for a Silver car. JMO
