My new wheels...phone pics......
I know the pics suck, but I couldn't resist showing them! They match the body color perfectly and don't look like anything I've seen.....
Please let me know what you think!!! Bad comments are welcome as well!!
Hi-res photos to come

Jst got back from the tire-shop.....
But:
Shiny tires look like total POO.....fake and cheesy. Satin finish is much more believeable AND lasts longer.
How about the WHEELS? '

I believe I mis-spoke when I said they match the body color...What I meant was that they compliment it much better than black, polished, or gold wheels I've tried. Even the photos don't quite to them justice.
They're 17 x 7 x 42 very nearly stock dimentions and fit like they were born on the car. (I wanted to keep my stock Bridgestone tires) I weighed the bare wheel and it came in at 18.5 pounds. I'm not sure what the stock wheels weigh...I haven't had the chance to put one on the scale. They're satin in finish and look to be very well constructed.....even though I only paid $109.00 a piece.
I'll try for some better photos this weekend....if the weather cooperates.

Amen, sister....
I loved the factory wheels.....and gunmetal was better than most when I was looking at replacements....but resembled the originals a bit too much....
I'm not out to sway the world....more just trying to justify my own choice...LOL
I really do appreciate the comments...one and all....and am looking forward to more. Just keep the negatives civil!
Thanks!
