But yup, I did check it and unfortunately they are too small by just a bit.
I'll probably look around for something custom eventually to replace the TSW logo... maybe a small rotor-shape... or maybe "Omi" hehehe... :D

Omicron-
These look great on the car! I have been looking for some different wheels. I was just at the Auto Expo here in Cincinnati yesterday and saw the Volcanos. I was trying to decide between them and the Enkei RS7. I, like a few others, wanted the SSR Competitions, but the price is a drawback. I plan to go with silver rims with my Sunlight Silver.

I mean no offence, but for some reason they actually look smaller than the stock 18's. Or is it just me. The stock silver 18's seem to 'reach' right to the tread. Maybe its an optical thing.

BUT, they look nice on your car Omi.

Where did you get the B-Pillar trim from? I have only been able to find the MAZDASPEED ones and in my opinion, they look horrible. The ones with the rotary shape on them I really like (the ones you have). Any help in locating those would be appreciated.

Ok, so now that I've got my spiffy new wheels, I've gotten motivated to paint my calipers and hubs. What color should I use y'all? I was thinkin silver...
