Pics of new wheels.

A little rubbing on the drivers side. I trimed some of the plastic inner fenderwell which so far has stoped the rubbing. I still haven't put many miles on them yet. I did notice that the mileage on the speedo is off a little bit. About .2 mile in 5 miles, checked on the freeway. The biggest difference is the increased grip, I didn't know that my old tires were so worn out.

Nice wheels for a sweet ride.

I got them from America's Tire (Discount Tire online) and they are polished, not chrome. Chrome would add weight ( 1- 2 lbs?) but would be less maintenance. I don't mind having to polish as this would only be once every couple of months. The polished should not show the brake dust nearly as much as the white wheels I took off.
