I love em, girl!! Good choice. It will look sick as hell when you lower it. Maybe some tinted tails, markers, etc. to complete the black out look.

if you want to save some money in the meantime just cut your stock springs until you have the money for a new set of lowering springs, other than that, great choice of wheels!

I was looking into that style rim last year but they only made them in black for the 99-04 offset at the time I was wheel shopping. I really like the Saleen's on our cars. Looks good!

Out of curiosity, why did you go back to 18's after having 20's?

I dunno about her reason, but I regret buying 20's. There was a very noticable difference going from 17s to 20s. They are so heavy. I wish I would have spent the money for 18's or big-n-littles. But, they do look nice and get alot of compliments.:beerdrink:

Exactly.

Also, I am going for a dark sinister looking theme with my car and the huge Chrome wheels just didn't do it.... but I did like them. :)

Yea I know... and I need to find some way to paint these stick on weights they put inside my wheels. I can seen it and it sucks..... :/

Looks great! I definitely +1 black lugs nuts and painting the centre caps... well that's exactly what I did with mine! lol :beer:

Regarding the wheel weights, a black permanent marker is a good, cheap, simple and quick way to get the job done... which I did whilst I was waiting for a box of black self-adhesive weights to arrive that I bought on eBay! Once I received the black weights, I got the silver/marker penned ones swapped out and now I take the box of black ones to the shop with with me for the guys to use whenever I get the balancing done!
