Default Got em in, new wheels(snowflakes)(UPDATED)
Not the greatest pics because of the weather here, but here are some pics of my 17X9 year one snowflakes, my center caps are on backorder but will be here next week. Picture's do these wheels no justice. I'll get better pics soon, Year one requested pics so Im getting high quality one's soon.

I like that they're different, but not a fan. Probably crazy expensive too.

I think they would look a lot better as 18's. The designs seems compressed. 18's, no white stripes would look sick.

You should have gone with the wheels they made for the BanOne car but everyone has their own taste.
