Not a fan of black wheels without a polished lip, for my car IMO. As well im guessing they don't weight less than 22 lbs for 18's. If they turn out to weigh less than I might change my mind.

it wasnt bad. discount tire direct had them drilled for me. and did it at no cost because they advertised that they had them in my bolt pattern and didint. I had to bitch a little bit. but they were cool about it.
