Nice. Funny thing is they remind me a lot of the CTS wheels and kinda make you do a double take. Can't tell from the pics but did your stock center caps fit?

had oem on so it's not wheel quality that's the problem it's the roads...they are tearing them up which means big straight edged cuts in the road...not good for alloy at 35mph...I love the new ones though

they are elbrus wheels...i believe the I05 (on tire rack website)..


as to the lowering, I know it would look much sexier but i unfortunately don't have the money to do that....
