I was going to snap more photos but I was asked if I was interested in doing a photoshoot (at no cost to me), so I agreed. Should be done in the next couple days.
I like the wheels and its definitely different. I appreciate all the comments.

I'm glad you got the wheels instead of listening to these guys. They look nice to me. I wouldn't have chosen them for this car but it's not my car. Giovanna has others I would have chosen over these, like the Califive. I have been buying aftermarket wheels since the 80's. Never heard of any failures by Giovanna. None at all. This is a 2 piece cast wheel that's not super heavy. Five spokes are timeless and it's in the modern concave style. Cost is reasonable. I see no downside.
We require more pics though.

The photos I posted were at my friends house, I have a couple more photos I took when I was at home I'll post those when I get back home.

2 shocks, pump, fluid etc. All work was done by me. It was 5k plus worth of work but since I have a shop and worldpac, SSF accounts it was relatively cheap. Cheap being over 3k.
The plus side is that I can rest at easy know its all new with warranty. Im sure I won't have any future problems and even if I do it will be with in the warranty period.
The guy I bought it from is one of the most honest guys I've met and he understood that its going to cost thousands. Hence the huge drop in purchase price from what he originally wanted.

Thanks,
They look much better in person than in photos. Black wheels are hard to shoot, taking a photo with a smart phone doesnt help either but all in all I'm happy with them. I just have to roll the fenders. Getting major rubbing on the freeway even on the highest ride height setting, which is slightly lower than stock height is on its lowest setting.
Your comment helped in making my decision to buy the wheels. I was already set on the wheels just needed one guy to agree
. Lol.
God Bless

awesome
I think the wheels look fantastic, great match with the car.
Love the rear light tints with the white showing too, nice touch. Mine are all blacked, kind of wished they looked like yours
