I think coils would change your view on the wheels. They look good

The thing that's turning me off of the center caps is the shape of it... Try to get those billet aluminum ones with nothing on it, either paint it black or keep it alloy looking would look really good...

I like em...the red accent would be nice if it wasn't deep dish. Or you could go for some red accents on the car to help the massive red lip flow better

I personally would have kept the money spent on those wheels and lowered the car instead, and then picked up some OEM wheels for cheap. There are plenty out there that are cheap and look good.

Not to bring up an old thread, but what the heck. Ive had these rims for about 9 months now and i can honestly say i love them. After getting coilovers and a wee bit of tire stretch, people have been coming up to me asking if im selling them. I think they look good and it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Now yall can criticize again.

The only way you could pull of the red lip is if you had the 20" + wheels bodykit and perfect offset.
