I think the wheels would look killer on the midnight blue or crimson red!

Tires are the wrong size, too aren't they?

That offset looks SIGNIFICANTLY better than the OEM one so far into the fender. However it needs moar low to really pull off the look, are you going to have the GXP sitting lower than Shannon's car?

I too am a fan of fatter spokes, these are decent though. They strike me as 1" too small on the photos. Big lip/dish kinda requires large diameters.

I think they'll look better on the white too.

They look nice but could use about an inch or two more size and as Jason mentioned, car needs to be lowered. Still, not a bad look at all. I would love to see them on a black car.
