Sweet rims. They look great on your car too. Even Stevie Wonder knows they look better than stock .

It's your ride, that's all that matters.

I used to be a big fan of the 5 spoke designs. I think they look good.

Congrats on the new rims. I would not have choose those, just not my flavor of choice. But if you like, that's what matters the most.

Ding Ding Ding! Hueman is the winner! They are indeed 18x9 SSR D5R's from TireRack, with Goodyear Eagle F1's in the 255 width. The car is slightly lower than stock, since it's sitting on WORKS MR Ride Springs, which is more than enough drop for the craptastic road surfaces (and driveways) of Arkansas.

BTW, I appreciate all the feedback, both positive and negative --- and for those of you who want to know WHY I went with these wheels . . . .

1. Clearance item @ TireRack = half the cost of Volks
2. Five spokes are Soooooo much easier to clean than 20.
3. Polished lip better than gray lip.
4. Now you can see the Brembos.
5. Wheel options are veeeeery limited for gray cars; it's either silver, or . . . . . silver.

But that's just me. I think they're PIMP.

Price is all.

If they perform and you are happy, that's all that counts.

I personally can't stand the stock BBS so this is a big improvement to my eye!
