I assume those are 5Zigen wheels. If so, be VERY careful with them. I had a set in the same color on my dark gray New Beetle Turbo S and bent one on a small pot-hole at 35 MPH. They're light, but VERY delicate! They're also my favorite wheel in looks.

yup they're 5Zigen and I should be fine...the roads where I live aren't bad at all.

also, here are some beam pattern pics I took last night...

What made you get new wheels?

Oh and the retrofit looks beautiful. You need some more night walls shots from further away. I know those projectors have a really colorful cutoff line.

My favorite 2.2 ion keeps looking better!

Looks great, but I would think those projectors can be aimed a little better. You should have a very defined cut off line with a projector.
