Very nice. What brand are they? Did you use any spacers?

Looks real nice. I need some chrome on my wheels, just out of the budget for now. Nice color on the car and the V6 embem on the fender.

No, I don't think so, but lowering the car might make it look badazz.

Check with Acrispy1. I forget what he has on his, but they make the car look nicer.

I think they look like mine, except I use the Mercedes Center Cap.

They are very nice wheels. And, they look even better if you run Vredestein Sessanta tires on them in OEM sizes.

when you lower it dont forget to get the chamber kit, the spacers exgerate the tilt alot.

No spacers. One thing I will mention is the company (Discount Tire) that mounted the new tires on the new rims wouldn't believe the TPMS sensors would fit on the front wheels (in the valve stem hole) so they mounted the sensors on the wheels with a band around the center of the wheel and used a regular valve stem. The sensors mount fine in the rear wheels and I'll bet they would have worked on the front wheels if the tech had tried to mount them. Of course with the sensors in the middle of the wheels the sensor reset tool won't reset the sensors for the front wheels so I always have the TPMS warning light on.
