They're 19" Axis Milano's. Like to drop it a little, but it's my wife's car. The car looks lower in person. Actually, lower than most I've seen in this forum with rims and stock suspension.

Thanks Noble. Damn dealer...told me bi-xenon option looked the same as standard headlights. Could have waited two more days to get a C with C4, but they were insistent there was no aesthetic difference. I didn't realize there was until after I bought the car and found this forum. $750 is a deal, but now I'll have to pay twice that to get it aftermarket.

I'd second that. There's a tiny spot where you can write comments. If you take a couple sentences to explain how the salesperson lied to you (and that that's why you'll never buy a car there again), then you're doing your part to help future potential buyers who might get screwed there. Also, aren't salespeoples' commissions based at least in part on that survey?

After that, maybe poke around to see where to do business in a couple years; one place is ruled out.

Thanks LCC. Your ride is sweet and the rims awesome. I'll wait to see if I can get those bi-xenons from Steve.

KZ,
My homie at Discount Tire in Rancho San Diego hooked me up. These rims only come in 19's. If you like 18's, you'll probably like these at: http://axiswheels.com/se7enmod.html
The se7enmod's are same width, front and rear, but you can get the rear's in "Maxis" which makes it look staggered.
