That looks really good. I know those aren't your normal wheels, but I'm wondering how the whole car would look if youre emblems were gold.

I'm sure the 17s feel a lot better, but what is your input on it so far performance wise? This should change your gear ratios a bit and give you better overall acceleration also a lot lighter than them hiros...

No gear ratio change. A 245/40/17 tire would have.

Gold wheels look nice. Need to add gold elsewhere though. Just my opinion.
