OP has a first gen, so TPMS is not an issue. But even if the tires were brand new with labels, it's pricy for stock rims. Nice look, though.

Couldn't agree more. Those wheels weigh over 23 lbs each.... for 1350, you can get much lighter wheels that look just as nice, and offer the advantages of better acceleration, braking and handling.

thanks for all the input, I agree about aftermarket wheels being just as good, if not better. They are nice wheels, but I'm trying to stay under a grand.

Hey, wheels are very personal, you'll be living with them so buy what you like but spend wisely.
