Sorry to be the lone nay-sayer but I dont like them on your car...maybe it is the color scheme...if you had the chrome grills and the chrome colored trim on the outside I think it would look better overall....I like the wheels just dont like the murdered out look with hyperblack wheels(look at a black E46 M3 w/hyperblack wheels as reference...the chrome grills and chrome coloring in the side vents offsets the color of the wheels)

Its IMHO...but to each their own and as long as your happy, then who am I to say otherwise right?

No offense taken at all. I understand your point about not having other chrome parts on the car to accent the wheels. I will have some chrome coming in soon that should accent it nicely =)

I also didn't want to go all black on the wheels either because I am not a huge fan of those. I felt that a medium black/greyish(hyperblack) center with a chrome lip would give the wheels much more character and stand out more than the full murdered look.

Yeah for sure tastefully done chrome/brushed aluminum pieces will set it off nicely(look at Jzhang's Yoshi for an example). All black wheels would only work if you were completely murdering the car out IMO....smoked heads and tails, dark tint, sport package trim, etc, etc....Like I said as it sits now I don't really like it, BUT I look forward to the finished product as I think if done correctly would look siiiiick!

Very firm ride for the most part, but I really like being able to "feel" the road more than the stock sport suspension.. Some people say its pretty rough in the back seat though

**The only negative thing I would say about them is the color. The springs are green lol..
