Very nice! Still waiting on my Sp500's to show. Ordered them 3 weeks ago. I opted to have mine powder coated gloss black though. Little more involved having to ship them to another company for that process. You'll have to know let us know how them tires work out. Every car Ive come across with them on there have been very noisey. They look very cool though. Nice Car for sure!

My car is Black. Waiting to see them installed to see if they will get "washed out" or not. May have to do the red pinstripe treatment. I bought my car with blacked out Y2K C5's, so I have a good idea of how its gonna look. I was racking my brain for weeks trying to decide on whether to go polished or stick with the all black theme. My car is also loud, except freeway cruising, not too bad then. Thats when I would notice it the most.
Like Detoxx said...welcome to the club! Be prepared to be asked 10,000 times "what kind of wheels are those and how much did they cost?"
I am wondering though, when did they start putting the valve stems on the lip rather than the inside barrel? Unless its because they are 18s and mine are 19s (and it probably is.)
BTW I have the same tires and have never noticed any noise from them at all.

you guys ever have problems with the wheels hitting the bump stops when you jack up the car? i have 18x11 sp500's on the rear and the bump stop always catches the inside lip of the wheels. of course, i will just grind down the bump stop to fix it, but just wondered if anyone else ran into this?
