Looks nice man!

If you do decide on tints, don't smoke them out completely. I don't really like the completely blacked out look, but a slight tint isn't too bad. (But if you are going for the "murdered out" look, then go on ahead. What ever makes you happy is the important thing. )

hahahaa im ok with totally murdering them out but i dont think im going to do that. i think 15-20% is perfect. right now mine are 30-32% which is toooo light. (the officer who pulled me over checked my tints and said they were 32%... i've never heard of such a thing but he said what he said...)

as far as i know, tint will never be what they say it is. I got 20% on mine but when the cop checked it, it read 18% i would say + or - 2? haha

spacers go inbetween the wheel and the hub, they push the wheel out of the wheel well more, so it looks more flush w/ the fenders. i have some on mine.

Also about the paint, be EXTREMELY careful washing them. especially since the paint hasnt' finished curing completely. it will take quite a while for them to completely cure. so when washing make sure u don't scratch it with anything hard. the paint is soft untill compeltely cured, even after its completely cured it still will chip relatively easy so always be careful. when taking it to a service, make sure the dealer knows your rims are painted, and that it chips off easy, and never let them wash your car....

they push the wheel out a little more so it looks more aggressive

I'm more for the flat look on these rims. Or has anyone ever done a semi-gloss?
