New wheels!

Well as some of you may know i ordered the 5zigen FN01R-C wheels in 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 falken 451 tires. After a whole big ordeal of the valves not being tightened and my battery died from not being on in 3 weeks(still gotta take that to the dealership). What do you guys think of the wheels? Heres a pic of them and the tpms are attached.

Looks great, Nova. But I agree about you needing tint.

I was considering those wheels myself, but I'm just not liking the way it looks on the 8. I'm glad you posted pictures. I hope you like them though, I would hate it to be me and end up not liking them. Maybe a 19" would look a little better. Just doesn't "fit" the car, for me anyway.
