I have the tourmelines on my black 01 gs and they're great. With 245/40's the stock spare is the same size 
I think Chuck posted a chopped pic of a dark car with these that was pretty close to how mine turned out. Plus, sewell gave me a great deal. Definately look there first if you want oem wheels.

Thanks BD! I was curious about the tourmalines and how they were going to look. I really like the look of them and am seriously considering them. However, after seeing the OEM five spokes it might be a tough call.
Thanks to everyone who has posted. Bring the photos if you got 'em!
