New Wheels

Got my new wheels in yesterday and thought I would post a couple of pics. What do you guys think? The suspension hasn't settled back in from having it up on the floor jack yet, so take that into consideration.
The next thing I'm doing is adding a Grand Sport stripe kit.
The wheels are deep dish 9.5" on the front and 11" rear

Nice choice, they look great. Why add a GS stripe kit? Your CE looks good like it is.

I kinda thought the stripe kit would help set it off. Thanks for the compliment.

Looks great. Looking at your sig, it looks like you had the same type wheels on it before, just not black. Am I right?

Yes thats correct. But I wanted the 11" rears and thought the black would look good.

Good looking wheels John! Saw your avatar on another thread and couldn't believe that was your car. The stripe is up to you but your car has a very simple, clean look that is very nice and the big meats in the back make a statement to. You may want to photo shop that stripe on before you really do it. The car may look even better with the GS stripe but that way you would know for sure. Anyway your car looks great as is

Looking good bro. I think it looks sweet as it is, but I also think the stripe would be a nice touch.

Hey looks great!

One ?: I assume you got 50MM offset on the rears, do the tires stick out past the fenders at all...from the pic it looks close

Love the look of the 11's in back

Thanks!!!
Yes, there 50mm offset. They stick out just a little but not bad, maybe 1/4 inch or so. If your thinking of getting a set and need a closer picture to see how much they stick out let me know and I will take one and send it to you.
