...now for a dissenting opinion.
Maybe it just the picture, but it looks like part of the spokes on those wheels will be 3/4 of an inch or so outside the tire wall - which would cause a substantial amount of aerodynamic drag at highway speeds. The wind will "see" four squares extending from the side of your car about 3/4 of an inch and about 6 inches high and 6 inches wide.
As long as you're not too concerned with top speed or fuel economy, go for it.
Then again, it may just be a optical "delusion".

I like 'em. I was going to get some til i found out they only come in chrome or anthracite-at least according to discount tire direct-i just want silver or a machined silver. i'm going with the konig attains. You may want to try there-they have good prices.
Go to http://www.discounttiredirect.com The forza's are $210 a piece there. Good luck.

i hope though that it doesn't mean i am going to receive the wheels in like 5 - 6 weeks then i rather pay for shipping....has anyone got anything from discounttire with the free shipping and received it relatively fast? yea i agree that silver wheels are better but i have a black max and i think that anthracite will look pretty hot on a darker max.

A) the mirrors are required by law in most places, are rounded at the surface that meets the airflow - and they came with the car - they aren't an add-on.
B) the licence plate - also required by law in most places - is a very small portion of a lager surface and also is not an add-on.
What I was getting at in my original post was that these wheels may have a negative effect on gas mileage and top speed in relation to the stock wheels.
