Yep, I did some searching and that's what I came up with. They look great except for ONE thing...I don't like the black/silver alternating on the inside of the lip I'd so hit that if it was completely silver.

Uh, those rims don't alternate black/silver. You should try to find a better picture of them.

Every picture I can find appears otherwise....that little tab between each spoke appears to be against a black/darker background lip.

The wheel is all one color. I'll try to find some better pics. I might have gone with those if they came in 18"s.

damn. I'm curious to know why he went with Face 1 up front instead of Face 2 like the rear. I think the deeper look of Face 2 at all four corners would be even nicer.

That lip is not bad, it's very plain looking though in my book. Seems to be the popular one in Japan though. Very very subtle. The Fabulous lip is more aggressive looking.

Here is the Fabulous for comparsion sakes.
