How do you like them? I traded a set of springs for mine, so i didnt have much choice. But i am very happy with them though. Are you using any kind of hubcentric ring up front or any way to center the wheels? I have hub rings in the rear, but nothing up front.

That's awesome that I can see your reflection in the last two pics. Nice car! I love that exterior color. BTW, what's that chalk drawing of?

I got the same wheel spacer (10mm front and 15mm rear) but I got mine from
ichibausa.com and they are hubcentric. The hubcentric is directly built in to the spacer, one piece machined, but I had to replace the studs with longer ones which came with the package. I got the complete set for $180+ shipped. No vibration baby and I did the install myself.

I am using 15mm all around, I wanted to keep it even looking. I had 20mm in the rear but they were more flush than the front so I swapped. I think 15mm is the maximum you can go with the stock wheels and not have to worry about rubbing.

H&R has them made for our car. Another member helped me find them. I needed 5mm but i got on the site again and they also have the 10mm. I can send you the link if you would like
