dude!... you aint the only one!! i wish with ALL my heart and soul they were more aggressive. but i had to make do.
they were a steal of a deal and a i like them more than the MRR's so hey.. had to do what i had to do.

iono maybe after i finish the Honda i may sell these and get them in 20" trim with a more desireable offset but that's way down the line. me and my new wife need to get into a house.

Dude, it wouldn't matter if they were Fiske 3-piece wheels--they look like imitation dubs to me. Just because they're Works, or expensive, doesn't mean they are nice.

sorry but i liked the mrr's better, imo the chrome draws my eye too much without it being accented anywhere else on the car, its a really good start though!

sall good brother. im not gonna front i do miss the MRR's to an extent. i gave them to a friend of mine that i see on a regular and i wish i'd seen them on my car lowered (i still can if i wanted but you get what i mean).
one of the main reasons i did the trade was because this is a wheel that would open me up to bigger better options in the future. resale value is key. i actually have 2 interested buyers already in my first month of rocking them.
the chrome actually isn't all that bad it's just the ballin' pictures that make them pop. even i never noticed the gleam they made until i saw these 2 shots.

here's another shot for comparison..



i will be adding chrome door handles to supplement the chrome so we'll see if things level out from there

Maybe they'd look good on a drift car or something but at the end of the day, it's your style and decision, thanks for being a good sport haha.

Are you staying with the same color? Clear bumper lenses would look better on any color IMHO.
