You are correct that the pictures do not do it justice, but I am a crappy photographer with an iPhone.

You were 1/2 correct

...With the 18 x 7.5 Ford FLEX rims you need to do one or the other...I didnt want to run spacers so I grinded the calipers down...Which worked out fine because we took that time to make them pretty to paint

I love the look of the Edge rims alot...I think the 19 inch Ford Flex rims would look sick too...

There you go. IMHO, better to grind and paint than add spacers.

Crap, 19's? Who's gonna be the first?

Toyota has a history of contracting with well respected wheel producers such as Enkei and BBS for their accessory wheels. If your $400 set of wheels is new, and not used, then I can pretty much guarantee that they aren't of the same quality level. That's not to say that they aren't good wheels; my MB Weapons were only $550 for the set brand new, but I know mine aren't as good either. Do they work and fit my needs? Yes. Are they Enkei quality? Not by a long shot.

Just giving you guys a sneak peek.

I'll be posting more pics soon from many angles. I just need to give my suspension a good clean-up.

No white (yuck!), no Philly's blue (just wouldn't look right against the silver), Satin Black FTW! especially if you tint the front door glass.

Yea ill probably end up doing black. My windows are tinted 15 in the front and put 15 on the original tint on the back. I like the whole silver and black look, also have the seamless window visors. These will deff be in the shed over the winter too so the powder coat shouldn't get all iffy after a year or so!
