I wasn't sure before, but is growing on me now. Don't think it's just because of the good photo's

Its really hard to photograph cars with black wheels and get any detail out of them, i usually just fiddle with the brightness slightly in photoshop but not so its obvious.

im off to Phoenix Motorsport in the morning to get yet another geo done for these tyres + 16/17 combo, plus they need balancing as the previous weights were right in teh way of the calipers 
oh well.. lol

WHy nwould you need a geo setup.. All you've done is change the wheels, not any suspension etc..

well it needs doing anyway as the rear toe is out, but the way the geo was setup before on 175/45/17's was made to have lots of negative camber and abit of neg toe and the rears were pretty true, ie. 0.0 so now putting lots more grip on the front, baring in mine i have 888's on now the back end wants to come loose alittle.
so im going to have some toe taken off and put some camber on the rears and maybe a bit of neg toe on the rears but ill see what phoenix say tomorrow

They look good.
It is also refreshing to see someone that understands that suspension geometry is so so much more important for handling than just slamming the car and stiffening the dampers.
I also think it looks great. The black really suits it.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

 suspension setup is far better to get setup properly than all the engine mods you can do in my eyes..

very nice. i do love these wheels...but i just sold mine as they were all black and looked smaller on the car from disance. I want aother set in white.
I think that these could do with the red pinstripe on the outer rim, that would look absolutely spot on! But yea, they suit the car to a tee and they are one of the best wheels for this car!
