Those are just beautiful, they remind me of my old 3 piece volks I used to have....very nice man and they set your car apart for the ordinary that is for sure.

Hey thanks guys for all the props! Those considering going from45th to 5th Gens.... I d did it and I've never looked back they are well worth it, the only drawback is a a lousy turning circle with 5th gens.

It's pretty bad when trying to park sometimes. My mom's '06 Camry is so much better.

Wow, simply amazing 5th gen. Everything looks perfect and those volks are sick as hell! What a great deal as well. 1" lower and it would look perfect imo, but not much you can do about roads around your area. But awesome job!

Awesome looking ride... except for the rims. Yeah, I don't like those rims. I especially dislike the rivets and slots. They set your car apart from other black 5.5 Gens at least.

Acutally I was expecting to be a little slower off the line but these rims are soooo much lighter than my 18" Alessio F1's that I accelerate quicker and much less clutch effort to get them rolling. After having them for a while now I really don't mind the stiffer ride but the Nitto's 555 tires are quite loud.

The rims are really easy to clean being so large the gaps between the spokes allow my hand with wash mit to get through no probs.

The price was definitely a great deal, they were used but only 4,000 miles and well cared for, not even a nick. The guy had them on his RX8 but then sold the car.
