Like my new wheels?

These are American Racing Phantom 17" with Nitto Nt555 245/45/17. Haven't seen anyone else with these which is why I got them. Paid about $1300 for the wheels and rims package at wheelsnext.com. Just like opinions good or bad. Thanks, and the driveway spots aren't from the car!

There's a reason no one else has those wheels.

Not a real big fan of those man, sorry! It doesn't have the meefy look with the big lip that these cars look best with. It would look better on a G35 or something like that I think...

Not a fan of that hood either.

However, do as you wish.

Those tires are smaller (width) than your stockers. I can't say I like anything about the wheels or the hood but it's your car. Keep it clean.

Come on guys, the wheels aren't that bad. 5 spoke with rivits. Just lower it, you will be fine. Good price for the wheels and tires too. Keep it clean, I like the color of the car.

I'll be honest, I'm not really digging them. However, kudos to you for at least trying something different. It's nice to see something other than a TTM or Vette knockoff for a change.

I'd have gone wider though, why only a 245?

Dont mind the negativity man.
In order for those wheels to stand out even better....
add some tint to your windows, loose the hood and go sunoco, lower the car a bit, berger panel that bitch and your set.
