Nice choice in wheels man. Love them with the EB. Suggestions: Should consider stepping up to 18's on the front, because it'll look better. Also, if at all possible, try getting the car lowered. With that said, it should finish everything off pretty well.

those particular wheels have always looked....."funky".....to me. i think it's the fact that there's too much "rim", and not enough "spoke", if you get what i'm trying to say. the outer barrel of the rim where it meets the center portion is just too thick (especially so on the rear wheels). they would look a lot better if the spoke portion of it was larger, and the rim portion of it was smaller.

those rims look good on there, are you just lowering it on the stock bolts or doing something else with it, and will it be around this summer at some shows?

Looks good. Would look better IMO if they were black. I agree that it needs to be lowered.
