MemoryFab? Sweet, that's where I got my rims too. I'm not totally sure about those tire sizes, but those offsets shouldn't be a problem for you. BTW, did you hit them up for a military discount? I'm not sure if they have one, but they should. Also, do those wheels come with center caps?

Got pics of your car? Those would look nice with the right stance and maybe a lip kit.

I like where your going with the wheels. I think 17's though wouldn't look right. To pull it off with those wheels I think you have to go w/ 19's maybe 20's.

I think those would look really sweet with the heads of the bolts/studs coating gold

Those wheel look sweet. By the way what part of Iraq/Afghanistan are you at? A buddy of mine just flew out to bogrum (sp) he said it is a little south of Afghanistan. He will be there for a year.
