It looks pretty good. It's contoured like the car which makes it look integrated. The ones you have on looks like something from a VW.

dude if you get the discounts I'd say go for it, unless of course it's worth sh1t. I don't mind them and its somewhat original (more or less). thumbs up here

you can get those wheels for 1800???

buy them and sell them again for twice that...

those at least look like the turbo wheels (hollow spokes WAY WAY light weight) I think a factory replacement is more than the price you put up there...

Also keep in mind with those wheels you're looking at 300 MINIMUM per tire... that's really expensive...

I personally don't care for it... Does the Porsche use the same lug pattern? Plus, if you get 10" wide tires, replacing them is going to be expensive... at least $1000 every set. Just my $.02

well they come with good rubber mounted, around 5k miles, for 1800... they are genuine, not knock-offs, and yes they have the hollow spokes...

I found out the lug pattern is different... IIRC, its 113.5x5 on mine and like 123x5 on the porsche or something... oh well, I liked the idea at least

Keep that car stock. It's great the way it is. Some dumba$$ here is running around with some chrome rims that has those "spinners" crap on it..... i was thinking to myself....bling bling

But seriously man. I think that your stock ones are great.

There's actually quite a few different 5lug patterns. BMW also uses it's own lug pattern of 5x120. There's 5x110 and 5x4.5....
That's something that I never got... while manufacturers just don't go with a universal 5-lug for cars.. I mean, some 'ludes and Accords are 4 lugs, others are 5lug. And my wheel's won't fit on my friend's Camry and vice-versa. Just kinda stupid.
