Default Wheels Have Arrived!

So my rims arrived today, I'll post some pics once I get home, I tried to fit the IS-F center caps but they were small by a few cm. Someone said to try some felt so I guess I will try to insert that and hope it works. I think they will look great once on the car.

So here are the pics, the last pic is the center cap I want to install. Most likely I will try the Velcro felt.

Nice rims! I have the MRR HR2 in chrome, im still waiting to mount them, not sure if I want to lower the car or not. How do you like the ride with the F-sport springs?

Its not that bad, there are bumps that hit harder but thats expected, the height is just right so can't complain.

Sorry man, I googled images of these rims and they didn't look great to me on any car in any picture. Something about them that I don't like at all. I don't usually like black windows on wheels, but it's not just that. Maybe they'll look good on your car, but I think there are so many better options.

Don't mean to be negative and hope you don't take offense to my opinion.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! I think they look great, and I can't wait to see pics of them on the car!

Congratulations on the purchase

Its ok, I saw the ones on other cars and didn't like them either but every time I searched they were all 20's no 19" and I think thats what will make these look better.

I hope that you prove to be right and I prove to be wrong.
