Does anyone want to buy these Carlssons rims or trade for maya SMT need 19" that would fit my car? These Carlsson are 100% mint no curb rash at all.

not stock.
either paint the reflectors or get the euro-impact strips... color-match the grill (just my opinion) ..... throw some sick coil overs on that thing... and add a euroteck lip..

i like the UL better, but authentic carlssons are impressive as it is, so props on a fine set of wheels...
...from what i can see in the pitures..you will most definitely rub if you lower...that is...if the rear tire even fits underneath the quarter panel lol

That's a great system set-up there. For those of us with an 05+ can you please give more details on your head unit, its wiring and install. Such as which wiring harness, dash kit, steering wheels control kit (if any yet), and any other useful tidbits about the install.

Would like more details
Would be great if you could post up some additional info on the Stereo system. I am contemplating redoing my entire set up from Factory Nav but want it clean and effective.
