Very nice Eric! I was looking at a set a couple weeks ago...I remember seeing them at SEMA last November and thinking that it would look great on my SC but they didn't make a 20" or 19" version....

Go to the tire shop with a shirt that says "I shoot bad people. Don't be bad."

bluelex,
My car is black, but the red stripe does match the SRT intake hoses in my engine bay!?!?
I'm not sure I'm totally down with the stripe yet... hoping it will grow on me. The guys at the tire place said they thought I should leave the stripes on...
I'll have on the car pics posted in a day or so... maybe I'll make it a CL poll... to stripe or not to stripe

Thanks Mike, I appreciate it! Yeah, I basically dropped to my knees and begged the tire guys to be gentle, and they were, did an excellent job in fact!
When the tech that mounted the wheels found ought I was there to pick up the car, he came running out into the parking lot, kinda drooling from the corner of his mouth, all gushing with compliments. The last thing he said was "Maaan, your car is DA BOMB!!!" This coming from a mid to late 40's guy with grey hair around the temples... kinda embarassing really

Personally, I would ditch the stripes. Love the wheel though!

Haven't had any problems on the freeway lately have you?
