Absolutely love those rims. Alloy finish looks great on Red (And black too!). The offset is perfect, pushes the wheels out but just under the fenders to look right and not like a Power Wheel / Wrangler. The drop is great to minimize wheel gap. And for the design itself I've always loved 5-spoke on a sports car, and its a bit of a mind game but the "double" almost "stairs" effect with the lip is something I prefer.

Silver's always been one of my favorite FD colors.. I've always said the fluid shape + color make the car look like liquid aluminum.
