Default I am very pleased!!

The wheels are extremely light and strong. Look even better in person. Now I just need to lower the car.

Thanks guys. It is always a little nerve racking buying wheels when you haven't seen them on a similar car before. I can't complain about these.

I'm in the minority here as I just don't like all black wheels. I'm not feeling these wheels in particular as they look like a BBS knock-off, the center cap design looks like road-kill five feet away, and the lug nuts look too small for the wheel. I think black wheels look better with a polished or chrome lip.

I know the back wheels are 305/35/18. I will have to check on the fronts.

I like the chrome too, but black on silver looks better to me. If I had a different color Z I would consider chrome. They don't look dirty in person, but I can see what you are talking about. I guess I like the dirty tough look over the clean shiny look.
