Looks amazing. The paint scheme is stunning and the classic look of a 5 spoke wheel is the perfect compliment!

Very nice... As long as the nose is on your car, I would probably have to stop about 3 feet short every time I had to park that bad boy...

Yes, 17" with 3/4 - 1 coil cut off in the front and composite spring in the rear to get the stance I wanted.

Wow, I sometimes will turn my headlights on to see where the front of the car is, if it's a little tight, but you can't even do that!

Keep the shiny side up!

Those wheels look nice and the prices aren't bad either. Just wish they had them in 18 x 11.5 for my rear tires.

Yeah there prices are good, but I'm tempted to ask Coy to pay for a new wheel stud cuz their wheels made me snap a stud in my excitement to get the stock wheels off. Learn from me, remain calm when installing new wheels.
