They look good on your car...the color match helps. IMO it makes the car look a little more "techy".
A lot of guys commented on being different...that is not hard to accomplish if you don't care that it looks good and like its part of the whole (car) package. Too many bozos get huge &/or gawdy rims cause there different (or say "look at me")...and then they look like a$$...then they wonder why people don't like them. Yours look pretty good though...a nice change without being ridiculous...you chose wisely Luke...the force was with you.

Wheels with lips are yesterday's trend. Keep in mind that a wheel will appear visually larger in diameter without a lip, since the spokes on these reach the outer edge of the wheel. A lipped wheel uses a 1" smaller center section, so your eye will trick you into seeing a smaller wheel.
Tran bought these from me, I sell more of them than anyone. Especially to the 5th gen guys. I even had a set on my own 5th gen for a while. The 18s are $300 each in limited quantities of colors remaining. Once the colored cores are gone, prices go up about $50/wheel (2011 pricing). The ones shown on Tran's car are discontinued, he got one of the last sets in that finish (brushed titanium). He is also the first 4th gen to put them on. Offsets are +40 front and rear.

I've been planning on getting a set of these wheels for my Formula for over a year now. They will be pretty different though from their shelf options. They look really good on your car and this makes me feel better about my decision. Everything, I've seen them on were 5th gens and the pictures on their site.
