Ditto! lol They look okay, but I'm not a huge fan of them on the 5th gen. I also mentioned to someone else that I think these wheels could use some chrome lug nuts just to break up some of that black in the center.

Now that we have pictures of actual wheels someone should use their photoshop skills to put them on a 4th gen.

Excited for some 4 gen pics though

There is no option for backspace option on their site. I will have to find them online or contact them.

They can pretty much order any backspacing you want. I ordered 15x10 with a 4.5" bs and 17x7 with 4.8" bs.

I got them from Jims Racing Tires and they ended up being $1519. I better like them for that price!

The 17's were the expensive part. If I remember correctly to go with the 15" wheels would have been closer to $12xx, but I wanted a full size front runner. I will likely buy a 17" rear wheel to match the front for street use eventually.

Since you got 17x7 and 15x10's, you are already setup perfectly for street use. No sense buying 17's for the rear unless you're doing so for pure cosmetics.

We will see. Ideally I would like to have a set of wheels/tires for the track and a set for the street anyway.

15's may be the way to go then for these. I have some other rims that I want to use on the street.
