You are not stuck if you decide to have wheels swapped before you take delivery.

the claws definately grow on you and look better in person, but i wasn't too excited about them at first. my all time fave is the stock '08 graphites.

Is SpongeBob designing these wheels? Same claw wheels on Nissan 370Z too.

G-Spider.
I know I know.
I'm just sayin... :P

X-pkg. But why all the hate over the 09' rims? They aren't bad by any means. However I do agree 06-08 are nicer.

Anyway, yes these x package wheels are very easy to clean.

Glad someone took the time to save my pix!

Here's another pix

LOL. Yeah, it might be your car. I found the picture on one of the threads, so I could compare the two side by side or rather on top of each other. Thanks for sharing your car/rims.
