Yeah I kind of like them . What do you mean by sanding down and polishing the lip??? I think I might just do that to mine until I get some rims on mine .

the sanding/polishing was real easy... i just painted the wheels, then got a wire wheel and put it on my drill sanded the paint right off the lip, the wheel also polished it and didnt leave it all scuffed/scratched like low grit sand paper would. each wheel only took about 3 minutes to sand/polish

they look alot better in person.

Yeah it does look rally-ish... there's no problem popping the hood to work on the car now!

Do you have any problems running that in the rain with the open hood?
