Actually I like both sets of wheels. One of the reasons I went for the NA was because I like the wheels. Gotta be careful when changing wheel design on a car as to how it will suit it - can't wait to see the new ones Taylor! You see some cars out there with bling wheels and they make the rest of the car look old. I think you'll get away with it though. Post some pics when you get them.

Just read through all of this. The wheels are not for me, but hey, its not my car :)

Any idea how much they will weigh each (without tyres)? Theres a wheel weights thread somewhere and these could be added as an option.

I do like your door cards though chinky chinky

not sure on the weight thing tbh, not alot tho, as said they are actually designed for race cars, kit cars and the like so weight saving is at the forefront of the design :)
