Not to sound cliche, but it really is one of those things that pictures don't do it justice. Other folks that have seen it already and online have told me that, and I wholeheartedly agree.

I like lighter wheels too, and I wouldn't be afraid of using something with a nice fat offset (that would look cool) but the price was right on these, and I'd been looking for a set for a while, so I think it all worked out.

On first impressions Performance-wise, the tires seem to handle very well. I also had a set of Cooper Cobra XST's back in the day, and was VERY impressed how much grip they had for the cost. I can't imagine these will be much different.

Also, maybe it's just me, but the car seems to go through the gears just a ...tick... faster. First gear comes and goes very quickly now, and turn in response feels a bit peppier. Once I go out and thrash on it, I'll let you know what I really think though!
