    yes.... but dark silver or shadow chrome would suit the car better IMHO.

    They look ok, although I have to agree with the others and say a light antracite would suit it better... That said I don't think it looks bad with them in silver.

    Sits just right if you ask me, the wheels sit in perfect symetry with the arches.

    I need to get some non saloon springs for mine so as the back end doesnt sit on the floor when towing.

    i think they look good on your car,makes a change to see a lighter coloured wheel and for the hight it sits nice on the road not to low.

    looks good (better in the flesh) i have seen it a few times now. were did you get the springs from as i am thinking that mine needs to be lower. (but dont like the fact that as i pull out my driveway there is not much gap between the bumper and the slope to the road, will cross that bridge later) Do you get much rubbing from them wheels, i have 225/45's on my 17's and they rub on full lock. Was thinking of going down to 215 or maybe 205. Was unsure how this would effect the speedo tho.
