tell me what you guys think, i know i love the black but i had to get rid of them, i had vibration since day one of getting them, i came here did everything possible, balancing, alligment, change ball joints tie rods, tight the steering, nothing got rid of them went to stocks, i couldnt take that look, so i risk it and went out and purchased new rims, well long story short no more vibration all these freaking time pass and it turn out that the rims were the cause of my entired problem

Big improvement..... Are you running different sized rims (larger in the back)?

I like the black on black but i don't blame you on changing your wheel setup. The HP wheels look grea,

The black ones made your car look sportier, but the new mesh ones make your car look more sophisticated!! Very nice. Its amazing how the wheels can transform the look of your car so dramatically in my opinion.

Im glad too that you dont have all those problems with the vibrations....were the old wheels bent of something?
