Yeah, they are Muteki--they may fade (I'll keep you guys updated) but if they do--I'll probably get them powdercoated black or get new ones.

Wanted to try these out--they give a lil color.

Thank you--I'm so excited! It's been almost 5 years since I've had rims and I've missed it.

I really like the style of the wheels. They seem to fill the wells a bit more than stock ones. Over all diameter just a bit bigger than stock? Wider by about 1/2inch or so? How is the ride err cornering?

Enjoy.

Yeah, a little bigger than stock--which means less chance of scraping the lip...Whoot!

It rides awesome, tires are quiet and grip nicely even though they are not broken in yet.

Taking a good trek tomorrow and they should be completely broken in when I get back.

She looks nice and I can't wait to drive again!

Hmmm self medicating by the sounds of it.

Adele's cousin just bought a throttle controller. She is an expensive lady.

You should get an alignment soon.

Looking good! but they do look bigger than the + 0.25% difference from stock but I guess the all black adds the illusion as well. Align them before anything else

Well...they checked my specs and so far everything is good.
I only needed one minor adjustment when I lowered the dang thing.

One VERY happy fit owner.

Got my sport last week, and 500 miles later, I'm loving the car more every day.

Very first tank of gas indicator said 35.1mpg. It actually calculated it out as 38.3mpg, so I'm pretty thrilled about that. I didn't break any sound barriers, but I did let that little beast out a couple times haha

Btrthnezr3: since you changed your wheels, what did you do with the TPMS sensor? did you transfer it onto the new wheels or did you just left the light on?

Thanks!

Hey...the TPMS switched right over with ZERO problems. I have driven 350 miles so far and do NOT have a light!! :-D

Oh and modifying centercaps to make them fit FTW!!

Looking really good... Is the overall diameter 24" on those? How's the +45 offset on the 205 go (clearance wise)?

I'm really looking forward on the Swifts and hopefully with my soon to be 17" setup with 23.9" overall diameter would turn out well
