they look nice chrome on the white usually not a big chrome wheel fan, but since those modas are so subtle(in a good way),they look good.

btw-it'd look even cleaner with some obx clear sidemarkers

I was thinking the same thing, they do look like the OEM rims but bigger. Very nice though. That's the kind of drop I'm looking to get on my car. If I were to use just the springs would I be able to achieve that kind of drop?

so where did you find those wheels staggered, I cant find them anywhere, I am undecided between 18 or 19, but finding them may help....

Per Tire Rack, they are history. No longer available. 18's are sold out and 19's some left but only at 8 wide. I tried checking with Radius, the maker of the wheel in Italy, but they kept directing me back to Tire Rack. Also, there is a new R12 that looks interesting...and comes in 18x10 for the GS/SC..

thanks, I love those wheels on your car but finally today, it looks like I have some rpm 505 showing up in about an hour.

I'll be posting pics soon, but will have to be waiting for the suspension setup a little closer to either bonus time or santa time.

Thanks for all the great feedback.
