I'm definitely feeling the color of the car, too - different. Factory wheels are for NYC roads/winters only.

not too much bling??? the only way they could be more bling is if they had $100 bills etched in them.

Very nice choice on the new wheels

thanks all for the comments. Yeah, I loved them when I put them on, and everytime I look at them I like them even more. Although it is a "OEM" rim, I dont think it looks like it.

did you keep the stock tires on the 2K4 wheels or did you go with a lower 45 profile compared to the 50 stock, looks awsome, oh yeah and hows the ride on the jic?

I am running 235/40/18 and the ride is great with the JIC's. Not anywhere near as harsh as I thought it might be. I am very pleased with them.

I just raised it a little today. About 1/4" all the way around. Made quite a difference. No rubbing at all now.
