Fitment is fine with stock suspension. Quality of the wheels is average. The paint has minor imperfections and has already chipped in one spot. The aluminum centering ring/clip design is absolutely infuriating. It took me 3+ tries to put each wheel on the hub before I could do it without the retaining clip popping off--kind of like trying to thread a needle with a fifty pound weight attached to the thread. Overall, I'd say they are slightly less quality than I expected for the price. I had a better experience with the Rota's on my Subaru, which were the same price or cheaper.

Thanks for the quick response, I'm looking at them for winter wheels as well. It's a shame there are imperfections, but I may still spring for them anyway at their current price - none of the other rims offered in that range look very good on the 1 at all in my opinion... I'll let you know if I find any tricks for the hub-centric rings, or alternatively I'll probably rant about fighting with them.
