I think the stock 18" five spokes look better.

For some reason the design of the wheel makes them look like 17s to me. I think the lip is too thick so as to cut into the "gaps" of the wheel in b/w the spokes; making the rim look smaller?? The signature above mine shows how the stock wheels look large thanks to the large amount of open space in b/w each spoke...

Dont know if that makes sense. I get the feeling these things probably do look a lot better in person. Post some better pics when you can

PS -- calipers look good, nice job

I like the rim style. A narrower and maybe more lower profile tire will make them look even better.

Not bad. You can't go wrong with a 5 spoke design.

Much better than the completely crappy stock wheels. The people that prefer stocks are the ones that prefer anything that is stock, even if it is like ****.
