Like the wheel, but something about them in the 19 in size makes them look way to big for the car.

I do wish they were bit wider. I got the whole set plus brand new tires for 600$ though, so I cant complain much. When I get my taxes back Im gonna get another set of wider wheels for the track.

If the centers were powdercoated black and the tires had more sidewall it'd look sick!

Thanks for the feedback guys. When these tires wear out Im gonna get some tires with bigger sidewall; I think that'll look pretty good

Wheels look phenomenal man! Are you lowered at all? What springs if so?

That's what I want to do. Theres a shop in town that does it and I have been meaning to go down there and see how much it would cost. Either gold or black I think would look awesome

Would look much better if they were 18s with a bigger sidewall. They look decent. I can see why you went with them. Way to be different.

Not liking the shiny edges to be honest.

Nice wheels though!
