Looks really good. Those rims flow very well with the car. My only advice is to paint the calipers black now. It "hides" them. IMO calipers take away from the good looks of the rims.

just wondering..this is totally off topic BTW...
how do you use scratch X and when would u use it? Would it be like superficial scratches or can it be used on deep scratches too? I have a bottle at home...i tried a lil but it never really worked..i don't think i'm using it correctly.

looks great! once shes slammed its over..
I have the same sizing and same tires on my car and think its perfect, and a nice amount of sidewall so your rims arent easily bent. My tires are close to 50% worn and they still handle close to the way they did when they were new. To anybody looking to get a set.. i got them at discounttire.com for 400 shipped after 50 mail in rebate

Exactly, and closer to the overall diameter of the stock wheels/tires- for reference on the appearance:

Niko, beautiful car BTW. I'd go with just glossy black rotors. Clean and simple.

I have to say that $2240 is way too much for the 18'', but they do look nice on TL
