Thank you everyone. It took alot of thought into the selection of these wheels. They weigh about 17lbs. I thought I picked the correct wheel size to make it sit just like the stockers which seemed to sit low. Guess I messed up somewhere. I guess I'll have to drop it next year. I'll have more pictures up if we have another nice day where I can get it cleaned up.

Styling doesn't match, they look like they belong on a Civic.
