Sounds like a split decision! It's for a silver GSL-SE......

I like it. That colour and style would go good with a silver car.

It's okay. I wouldn't call it clean though, more like boring.

I thought that 38mm offset was required when using a 7" wheel on an SE. If you use zero offset, won't it rub?

Also, the dealer told me to use a 60 series tire... ****, that doesn't make sense, as the stock tire is 60 series with the 14" wheel. The calculator I used indicates that a 55 should be perfect. Is there any reason that I should use a 60 with the 15" wheels?

I'm not lowered.... but why would I want a 60? Won't the 55 be a more aggressive look (as well as more accurate)?
