imo, needs some bigger rims, or the darker rims, makes the diameter look smaller

seriously? Why do I like these rims so much? Do you guys not like it because of the lack of a deep dish lock?

I think the wheels look nice

A lot of People here on CL hate on rims with no lip if you didnt notice

No we just don't like it's style at all, I like Volks ce28 look really good for no lip rims and even work emotions look good for no lip rims.

I just realized I said "lock" instead of "look" lol I seriously like these rims much more than the current F-sport rims which are also pretty good looking. I usually agree with the general opinion on this forum but I am having a hard time agreeing in this case for some reason... :/

these rims definitely look great. if it remains silver as in the pics from the OP, then id like them. silver shows the concavity of the rims more than the black ones. i asked one of my buddies at my local dealer about the f-sport special edition, and he said that its comin in a hopefully by the end of next week. obsidian and tungsten pearl are great choices for it to be exclusive.

Not the lack of deep dish, its lacking a lip, not a lip! what's the word... The diameter? The frame? Looks weird and cheap.
