the wheels are nice, but you sure can tell that the size was stepped down from the 18 rears.
makes the car look weird at first - the body appears elongated.

I like it a heck of a lot better than those ick, awful wheels they came with in 97/98 or whatever. Bleah!!! Makes it look more like a C4 to me. Which is good. :D
