Got my rims!
I'm feelin em! Now if I could just change my stock wheels off. Ugghh, my cousin uses a torque wrench when he puts them back on, makes it kinda hard to get off manually! I'm gonna look like a lamer going to Big O and asking them to change my 4 tires! Should have pics today on my cardomain website:

Congratulations! I'm sure they'll be an incredible improvement over your stock rims.
Some advice:
1)Just make sure when you get Big O to put them on, make sure they don't overtorque the wheels with their impact wrenches (otherwise it might be impossible for you to get the wheels off on your own, even with a cross tire iron and you and your dad leaning on it and cursing a lot.... don't ask
)
2)Also if you have locknuts, ask them not to use the impact wrench on them - I had a couple of them shatter the teeth off because of the way impact wrenches work.

You can feel the difference in acceleration eh? I've heard about that but didn't think it was a big deal. Is it really noticable or just ever so slight? I'm wondering because I'm thinking of going the Mustang rim route later on, and I know those will be on the heavy side.
In any case just don't worry about the rim installation for now since there's not much you can do now - be happy about your sweet new rims and enjoy the glow.
