Thats a very nice wheel!! I also love the paint job.

no, I'm saying I need 17" rotors and you need 19" rotors. LOL
I had drums on the rear when I first put my Rushforths on. if I would have painted the drums silver, they would have looked like the hub of the wheels. :)

I just have to say it, your sidewalls are way too damn short. Good looking wheel, awesome car. Wheels too big or not enough sidewall.

Would have to agree...beautiful wheel (then again I'm partial) but I'd need more sidewall for me to be happy.
Your car,your choice...the only one you gotta please is you.

They work on that car. I might like like a little more tire with the roads around here. Car looks great.
