Yikes... Even pepboys have a better wheel selection. But to each their own. Congrats on the new wheels

They r better than the first... did you have to buy fairly quick? I only ask because I saw ur other thread not long ago about the broken wheel. Sometimes limited time and cash u just gotta get what you can... but if this was something planned out I dunno bro I like stocks over these.

I got a similar response when I got the full face hr3 on my GS... no lip not aggressive been done many times over... but like others said it's what u like. Just post up pics of what you do no need for approvals everyone has their own style that is kind of a blend of others...

Hey if you like them why does it matter what other people think? The new wheels look better than the old one for sure! But I will have to agree with the others it is personally not something I would put on my car because its not my style.

Glad you're happy with the purchase, but to me the style of the rim just doesn't flow.

I'm not crazy about them. But if you like them it's all that matters.
