I got my Cuzcos put on the other day. I like them, reactions from my friends have mostly been good, couple were meh, no one told me they are ugly - yet.

So what do y'all think?
Honestly, please.

On the to do list is paint my calipers(probably black, maybe red? thoughts?) and paint the rusted out part of the rotor where the calipers don't clamp on. Sorry for my lack of mechanic lingo.
EDIT: Other item on list to do is black out my grille. (Feedback request: Black out burger or no?)

Looks great! Gotta lower it though! I'd say don't black out the burger.

i think they look good! but i'm with white_sr, don't black out your burger! as for your calipers, go with black, you already have black rims and blacked out tails, red would stand out too much imo

I used +37mm.

Thanks for the feedback guys! The set up felt so much different than stock and it was really strange driving but today I made a 3hr round trip drive to Ohare Airport and now I can say I absolutely love the Eagle GT's. Its pouring out right now and I floored it just to see how the traction was - with the continentals my tires would spin like no other when i floored it on a slick road but now I have no problems at all. Either these tires are really good or the continentals were crap - or a mix of both.

Calipers and rusted parts of rotors are going to be painted black, just like the grille with the exception of the burger. Thanks for the responses again.

As far as dropping the car goes, that's probably never going to happen - one of the few things dad said I can't do.
