They look great - huge upgrade, appearance wise.

Did you notice much difference driving? I put the same wheels on my car when I upgraded from the original 16x8's and I noticed the tires grabbed a lot more road irregularities.

well i noticed that the car no longer pulled to 1 side when i let go of the wheel. i went into some rough pavement and its actually softer than the old wheels. im guessing because the treadwear is 240 on these and softer tire.
