Well, I'm not sure how I feel about them. The fitment is dope, but I miss the greeeeeen.

Teasers for now, more to follow:

To be honest I felt the same way at first, but they've really grown on me in the last few hours. I've always wanted wheels with 5" lip.

Can anybody help me find an easy way to jack my car up without taking off the skirts? I can jack up the rears by the diff, the front is another story.

ugh those wheels are gross. to each his own I guess.

use the little scissor jack to get it up high enough for a regular jack. or drive it up on 2x4s then use a regular jack

thanks for the comments guys. I really like how they look on the car, so I think I'll keep them. The pics I took really don't do them justice. Perhaps some of you will change your mind when you see the pics a buddy took with his SLR. I'll post them as soon as he uploads.

Eh, I'm not really feeling them. They look like they belong on a Mercedes or something.

I agree with JDM Emporer. If your car was black or red they would look better.

What's the weight on those suckers? I'm guessing at least 30 lbs. a piece, without tires.

I really don't think they weigh that much. They seemed just about the same if not lighter than my M3 wheels, and those are 26lbs.
