Yes...please do...

I e-mailed Tirerack and they said that they should fit...also, they would stand behind their claims and if they didn't you could send them back.

I'm thinking of getting these for a summer set...however, I'm waiting to see how much they weigh...

I was just looking at these today. In black they suck, but silver isn't bad.

And that means something coming from me. I hate all the wheelsets you all have.

They are definitely good looking, but bound to be heavy, well probably same as stock TC wheels.

Nope. Dark wheels are completely over done.

Granted, wheels come from the factory silver; dark wheels look like caca and take away from the design. But this topic isn't an argument about that.

I wish the company I just dealt with would have stood behind their claim of wheels fitting.

You can't make that kind of statement/judgement and not expect an urgument. So don't write that type of comment, period.

Silver wheels, if not in line with a car's desing, will look like **** too. It's not a matter of rim color, it's a matter of rim desing.


I like the rims, please post pics...
