There's really no cons to the spacers. just a matter of preference on how you want your car to look. In my opinion I like it better (25mm) than the (20mm) it seriously looks alot better in person than in pictures, now I am just waiting on the 15mm for the front. but the ride is good it has a hubcentric ring so it does not vibrate. I took it on the FWY going at various speeds and it was smooth. thats just my take on it.

Very nice, If your going to run stock wheels. At least get spacers to make those stockers flush.

I like both sets of the wheels. They each have they're own touch to the car. If you were to ride w/ those black stockies I'd paint the roof black. I have the roof, sharkfin and rain channels of my starfire done w/ SIENNA BLACK METALLIC from the Mercedes-Benz color codes and it looks sickKKk.
on't re
Btw, was that first picture taken somewhere in Chino Hills? I've seen that blue structure somewhere, just can't quite put my finger on it..
