Default New rims have arrived - nebula grey awd on 20in with Tanabe

Lighting isn't the best so I'll get some better pics but my new rims have arrived. The sun setting is hitting the spokes strangely but in better light the reflection should be more uniform.

50% tint
20in ace convex
Lowered with tanabe springs

Nice wheel choice, and the drop looks good also...

I just purchased these rims and waiting on them to be delivered.
Were you able to use your factory lug nuts or do these rims require a different style?

Unsure if they require a different style however my wheels came with a separate set (spline drive)

I just confirmed they use an Acorn seat lug nut. Thank you!

Looks PERFECT! Great wheel choice and that drop is perfect in terms of style without sacrificing driveability.

Well done.

Latest pic looks too low in the front to me. I'm looking at the curvature of the wheel well vs. the curvature of the outside of the rim. On the front, the curves don't match, but on the rear, they do. May just be the camera or angle of the pic.

Anyway, those are some delicate looking rims but a nice match for this body style. I like 'em.
