Not crazy about the style for myself. But I would be interested in reading how the ride has changed. Both for handling and comfort.

PS The tint on the windows looks great!

So far I really have not been able to tell a difference in the way it drives, I do not know the exact numbers (size wise) for width and stuff but the shop that did the install said these were the same dimentions as a wheel from barbus or lorinser in 19" for this car would have been.

Thanks to everyone who has nice things to say, I really appricate that Someone mentioned cleaning the wheels, I really don't know what I am gona do yet, prolly just wipe them down with soap/water every few days. Any better ideas? Also will I need to worry about snow/salt in the winter with chrome?

Actually, Windex works very well for cleaning Chrome wheels. I used on my Camaro and it worked nicely. It also left a little film on it to keep the dust from sticking to it.

I dont know...maybe it is just me...but when you look at pictures of wheels in the magazines and catalogues, you may think...hey this looks good or no..this looks like s**t. I first thought those wheels would not look good - just looking at them in the catalogue, but when you see them on the car itself, they look alot better. To me, it is hard to judge what certain wheels look like until you put them on the car. Especially with 19" wheels, they do fill out the wheel well nicely. Good choice.
