I think they look fine. But, I think they would look even better with lowering springs.

Im not a fan either. Maybe is because the car isnt lowered and has no app. package, i dont know. I like the rims, just dont think the color scheme meshes with this particular 8, but hey, its a gorgeous car nonetheless

Looking good. But I think a 8.5 and in the back 9.5 with a 32 off set all around would have been sick!!!!!!!!
Also you should lower your car

Yeah, I'm thoroughly disgusted at myself at the moment. I should have lowered and had a kit done first. Then at least the damn pictures would do the wheels a little justice. My car looks naked, and I still have weeks to go before I even get the kit, and then having it painted. I may just head back to the dealer and have the OEM's put back on. The ole ego is taking a major bashing in my own mind, no matter what any one else thinks. Its one of those WITF was I thinking moments..I'm ashamed to even drive it. Poor baby..I can't believe I did this to my car. Isn't there a What not to do to your car thread somewhere???? *sigh*

I have my stockers....thank the good lord I had enough sense to keep them. They are on loan actually to a buddy, while his get painted. I may try powdercoating before I totally give up. It's not really the wheels its the order in the way I did things..and I'm pissed that I didn't listen to those that I've asked advice of, and gotten..

I am SUCH A NOOB!!!!!!!

OK.....Saturday afternoon, different perspective after a good friend called, and we discussed this....Considering this was my first set of after market wheels or major mod I'd ever done, well ok...I goofed, because I didn't do my homework..but I didn't know the right questions to ask either.... so lesson learned.

I learned that it was the offset which was not much, but just enough to look like I had put hotwheels on my car. :...I didn't know that a 5mm change could be so drastic...but then again I didn't ask. I had read that = 48 was ok, but I still didn't understand what the changes in offset would do......NOW I DO...I was thinking that the wheels would stick out from under the fenders, not drop from under the fender wells and leave huge holes in there....trial and error.... SO Monday hopefully I'll get a call from a guy that can set me up with Coilovers...and I'll drop her.

you live and you learn right.
