nice, that polished lip will look really good. Only problem I would have with them is that stock wheels are a thick 5 spoke and so are those.

IMO 18" and larger diamter are too bigs, it hurts our performance and acceleration. OEM wheel and tire weight is 49-50 lb including one tire and one wheel. That's too heavy.

you probably already did this but make sure they fit 100%. i used the drop down menus on the weblink you provided in the first post and the site said there were no wheels available for our cars

yea, they guy at the shop called up and said they would fit. the wholesale guy was saying that its hard to find rims for our cars because of the rotors and most rims having an open center cap. so, yes the rims will fit...im gonna order them in a week or so
