I'm quite liking 'em actually, a little bit different to what you normally see on EB's. Should look alright against the Cobalt Blue... Can you Photoshop them to an image of your car?

What size are they?

I prefer the rims on my Subaru! :P Their the same as you've shown bakes but mine are shadow chrome.

I reckon the Starcorp Tracer is one of the best wheel packages you can get from tempe's. I paid $999 + delivery with tyres, nuts, locknuts & caps.

Dan - your car would have looked tops with those rims on! Still I'm not denying the ELGT rims either.
