what size tires did you put on them? these rims are not as wide as the stock 5 stars, so if you put 235's on them, did you have any issues?

225/50/17" Dunlop 5000m DSST Runflat Tires

they OEM tires were 225/55/16's i believe, my buddy who put them on said it shouldnt be a problem...i drove around about 50 miles on them already and havent noticed any additional road noise or rubbing of the tires, the ride feels about the same as well even though i dropped and inch of tire

They do blend nicely with the car. Hope they were inexpensive.

For some reason... I dont like the look... But I will agree with you in saying that they look 100x better than the stock 16's. I personally hate that look, but am stuck with it myself!
