They look good to me. Very rarely does a car get viewed from the side only. Normally it's at an angle so I think these pictures display them well... not that I would mind more pictures though.

How much do they wiegh and what's the story? Was it just a test fit or are they yours?

When is that true? When most people notice a car, they stop and take a walk to the side of the car to get a feel for it. Noone ever looks at the front to scope out a nice car.

I've always liked g35 and 350z rims. But my only problem is the good ones are 18's and I feel they usually look too large on 240's personally. But they look nice and clean, and I hope you enjoy them.

Nope, I said angle rather than front. First impressions tend to come from the front and approximate 45's. This is especially true in parking lots where looking from a 90 degree angle can often just net a view of the windows. A pure 90, to me, doesn't give enough depth to really make an accurate judgment. Particularly when from a picture taken low enough to cut the hood, roof, and trunk out of the picture.

My thoughts exactly. The wheel style looks off. Maybe just too big and too bright looks odd on a black car, or maybe the odd little square styling on the spokes.

Chet when I got them I was thinking why not offer them for sale on NICO? We'll see if I like them. They are quite light and ultra-round.. virtually .001 lateral runout

If I squint really hard, I can pretend my s13 is as pimp as Smitty's...
