They look as hot as i thought they would. Any trouble with the offset and can you tell any handling difference with the increased weight?

Dude the car handle's great. It feels better actually! The offset is perfect. The ride is real smooth and I can still accelerate very fast. Go get these already!

Damn, a ricer wheel! Dont think so. Give it, it's a budget wheel, but it looks great on the 8.

You have good taste Kel, thanks for the compliment. :D

22lbs. doesn't seem too bad at.. and they look great. Probably a bitch to clean but the looks would be worth it.

Glad the bumper arrived OK -- I must admit I was a little worried -- especially after I ate $$ on the freight. I still have the rears on -- I really don't care for the MSpeed rear so I haven't changed from stock yet. Looking at wheels myself right now. Can't decide on Racing Hart CX's, the new Ro_Ja by Rays wheel, new Ro_Ja Formula 2, or a variety of Volk models. Definitely looking at 19's in silver. I would get the TSW Thruxton's if they came in silver -- that looks like the best wheel bargin going right now IMO.
