Default new wheels

put on some brand new oem 10 spokes today, not exactly what i was planning on before, but i just had a baby two weeks ago so i didn't want to spend too much cash.

I think they are a practical upgrade to what you had prior, and if and when you lower the car, it will look 10 x better

thanks they don't blow me away but i do think they look better than the stock 16s. i bought the set with new runflat tires which have a little different feel, but no complaints so far.

looks good - get a clear bra - you don't wanna have to repaint the front again. I wish I picked up a clear bra 60k miles ago.

Nice and subtle wheel-upgrade... Do you have a photo that shows how the offset-change turned out?

i'll try to take one, it shouldn't be much difference though, if i remember correctly the offset on stock wheels is +50 and on the new wheels is +45.
