Love the web-spokes! They look fantastic!
Question for you: How far beyond the edge of the tires do they stick out? From your pictures they seem to be hanging out past a good amount.

Thanks!
I really like the car's stance with the new wheels.
I've had them sitting in my dining room for the last 3 months just waiting to go on. Of course, we've had about 10 inches of snow since last friday (Pittsburgh and DC combined) so things have been a bit sketchy with the summer tires, but I just couldn't wait any longer. The steel gray on the wheels actually matches the dark silver better with a layer of snow-induced grime on the wheels!

why the change to 16s? Problems with the 15s? You were the reason i decided to move down to 15s
