Nice looking car, might be worth looking at getting the stock wheels refinished in factory finish first before buying new ones.

Welcome to the club.
Looks like the previous owner got the wheels chromed out, actually looks pretty good with the black.
You mentioned you were looking for 2010 or 2011 wheels, if you're already going to take the plunge, consider the 2012 or 2013 design.

I was thinking about 2012 or 2013 design as well... do you have any legit site that I might be able to buy it from???

Great job taping up the front end to prevent rock chips... is that 3M painters tape? How much did you have to purchase to tape the whole front end?

Thanks!!! I bought two rolls of painters tape from Home Depot thinking I might use up all the tapes but actually two were more than enough!

Welcome, and congrats!
I'm not a fan of chrome anything but that wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me if the car was a nice deal.
And if you search for posts by JoeZ he often reposts a graphic that shows which wheels go where. The blade design does have a front.
