Like your car but WHY those wheels? Pretty ugly for such a nice ride. Looks like generic 400 a set wheels. In ths case the oem would be so much nicer.

Never liked black wheels. A set of chrome anything would be much better. Also those door handles seem to standout to me as cheap. Can't those be chromed also? As you can tell I like chrome!

They are Definately not cheap. 234 a rim. Hardly called for any weight and only 2 lbs heaver than oem. For a one piece rim it's not bad quality being TSW. But I believe all black would have looked better IMO. No rivets either.

Well no biggie, wheels are a total personal choice. I've seen much worse that cost 10x more by some lowrider guys but oh well.

Rivets and 5-spoke rims remind me of sportier cars. Still can't decide on the right rim for mine either.

The Hybrid badges easily come off and the F sport emblem if from Sewell. I recently removed the TSW wheels and installed 18x9 +38 and 18x8 +45 WORK EMOTION XD-9'S in matte grey silver. They Look amazing, but I'm going to powder coat black or gunmetal soon.
