Just thought I would throw a note up here... The pictures don't even come close to doing justice to these wheels. The finish on them is absolutely fantastic! Also, you cant tell from these pics, but the inside of the wheels are black, which helps to really emphasize the color depth and brilliance of the face. The color changes depending on the lighting conditions, sort of a silky gun-metal in low light, and when you hit them with full sunlight they really pop. The angle of the light effects it too. The form is excellent... the spokes gently arch from the inside of the rim toward the center and smoothly curve into the dished out center.

I cant even begin to explain what a difference the the 235 tire makes, both asthetically and for handling, but I'm sure most of you know.

Thanks again Brian!
I am one extremely satisfied customer!

Are you lowered? Any problems with rubbing?

No rubbing. The car had the factory installed sport suspension when I got it, but I have not lowered it any from there...yet. I may install the Eibach coilover kit soon, which potentially might give me a slight rub acording to Brian, but nothing that a minor fender roll can't fix.

I have a 2008 on order and considering getting the wheels and tires you put on your car. Are you happy with the purchase?

Extremely happy! I love these wheels and I get so many complements on them. The extra tread width and better tires makes a huge difference. Definitely worth the $$$.

Brian:
Is the weight on the SC03 17x8 over the limit. I like the design and the SBC.

Great wheels Adam! :) Hope you like them as much as I love mine. What size set up did you get. You look substantially lowered, so I'm guessing those are 17x7 the way they fit under the wheel wells, but I can really tell for sure from the pictures. Looks grat with the Air Dams and Side Skirts. Man that is really low, what suspension set up are you running on?
