I want to post some Hi-res pics. The way the tires fit the wheel, and the offset of the wheel, give the car a very aggressive look. I'll take some better shots tomorrow and link them w/o reducing them at all.

Hehe ya, thats why i fell in love with them. They look a great deal like the JCW, but 17's give me more rubber protection for day to day driving, they are about 160$ canadian per wheel instead of the crazy JCW pricing, and tires are cheap and plentiful in comparison.

If i was going to spend JCW money, id take home a set of BBS myself. But since I liked the JCW design so much, I couldnt pass these up
