something about the setup doesn't seem to flow with the car. Not sure if its the lip, or if the offset isn't quite right. Maybe its just because the car isn't lowered and the tires are so skinny. What tire size are you running?

Very nice, but now you need larger rotors to balance the look.

Yippee more Christmas Presents!!!

Stillen sells Big Break Kits, but honestly you don't need them just because your rims are big. Just get some Xdrilled/slotted rotors, and it will help with the look better. You are rolling a 2.5 so you wont be going fast enough to where you would even need a BBK. JMO but the price tag for those kits are too high for a car that doesnt have the kind of power output that would make it necessary

Since you asked for opinions...

While the car looks clean as hell (literally clean) as someone mentioned above, something just doesn't work. It's the huge size of the the spokes, the offset, the pattern, or something.

Aside from that my usual philosophy is screaming to me: Big heavy (looking) wheels on a 2.5 = even slower and no goer.

Maybe they'd look alright on something larger like a Bentley or Jaguar or something like that with that certain look...

I think they are too exposed. Here in NY at least those suckers would be bent the first month you own them. Or stolen. I would've gone with 19s personally. It looks great for a show car. A daily driver I'm not sure. I hope you have minimal issues with them though. :)
