They are 17s.. I flirted with the idea of 18s out back, but I wanted to retain the ability to rotate if I wanted.. and im cheap. But there are a bunch more tire selection in the 18s tho.

Sorry, but they look like hubcaps - I personally do not like black wheels. To me black wheels is something a kid does to their car to hide the inperfections on the original chrome and shinny wheels

I don't really care for them but its not a "they look bad" type thing as much as I cant SEE them. They may look good in person. Just not in the pics.

Apologies for the hi-jack, but what sizes are the 18s on your car, what year car, and what size tires are you running?

TIA,

Live well,

The shipping costs would probably be killer to Illinois 61548. If not, I could see buying them and taking them to my local Powder Coating shop.
