Awesome! I just ordered the same wheels, only with a silver center instead of bronze. I was actually just searching for some pics, because mine wont be in for another week or so. Mind if I ask wheel sizes and offsets, and what size tires you are running? Looks great

I actually found a slightly used set, that I got a killer deal ( I think.. ) on, for a little less than $1000 shipped for the set. These are 17x7 with a +27 in the front and a 17x8 with a +35 in the rear. The wheels I currently have are 17x8 + 32 all the way around, and I am running the same size tires as you (exept a 255/40 in the rear instad of the 45) and am hoping I can use the same tires. Im sure the rear will be fine since they are the same size and offset, but I may need to roll the front fender slighly.. but well see. I really love the wheels though, nice choice

Now that Ive looked close, the ones I am getting are a bit different than yours. For one, mine arent a universal 5-bolt, but just 5x114.3. Also, mine have rivits all around the lip, instead of just 2 spaced every once in a while. Mine are a few years old though, so I guess they changed them a little.
