That looks perfect! Keeps the OEM look with enough change to stand out. Well done.

I took the center caps to an auto body shop and it cost 40 a cap. Just fyi the center caps need to be modified to fit, I used a heat gun to warm up the plastic clips and bent them outward. I also put some tape on the clips to keep the caps from spinning.

Yes! I agree, it was expensive to get them paint matched but it was worth it!

The cats didn't care too much for the wheels but I got a "wow, that actually looks pretty good" from my wife. I consider that a win!

Thanks!

I actually ordered the rim/tire combo from America's Tire (Discount Tire depending on where you live). The guy was able to price match their corporate website and promotions so I saved a few hundred.

No, you're right, they don't carry nice stuff in store, they had to order them from one of their warehouses.

Hi VanyDotK,

How does your car handle with the 8 inch and 35 offset, compared to 8 inch and 55 offset (OEM). Do you feel any difference in handling for better or for worse?

Thanks,

I don't feel a difference in handling, but the ride isn't as smooth.
