I think I gotta agree with the consensus, I like the 3GS wheels more but the JDM ones don't look bad either.

Yes.... the JDM ones are not a true "FULL FACE" design like the 3GS wheels.... but about 8lb difference per rim... it is well worth it!

I have had noticeably difference in acceleration.. not sure if it is me, but it does feel nice behind the wheel.

Jimmy: I like the new color on the slits and windows much better. These look good on your car too. Just keep 'em and rock different styles every few months. 8lbs. lighter per wheel? You can't argue with the butt dyno!

Thank you. I like them much better like this. This set sits much flusher then the 3GS wheels.

Thought about it and now i want to go bigger... maybe 20's
