Man, everyone with f-sports talks about the clunking issue, I've had mine on for a year already and knock on wood have never had any noise other then my Jack moving around but after I secured it better, there is absolute silence... Hmm I guess I got lucky

some clarification on the lx3
I used to have an LX3 but got rid of it because it's still a compact with a small sensor. It's NOT the closest thing to an dslr because the sensor is tiny and you can't change lenses. The closest thing to a dslr without being an dslr is a micro 4/3rd's camera with a larger sensor and changable lenses but no mirror like a dslr. Examples of a micro 4/3rd's camera is the Panasonic GF-1 and Olympus E-P1. Both are smaller than a dslr and have much better image quality than the LX3. I sold the LX3 for an E-P1 so I know how they compare. For a point and shoot compact the new cameras in town are the Canon S90 for fast lens and G11. Both use Sony sensors with better high iso capability than last years LX3 and have better zoom range BUT they don't have HD video that the LX3 has. The LX3's video is really good but can't focus and zoom while filming.

Nice wheels, but wrong for the car
The way I see it, these are the wrong wheels for the car. I like the design of the wheels, but like others have said, it does not look right on the car. Either you drop it, or switch to other (smaller) wheels that look good at the current ride height.
It's really the same on all cars. If you go above a certain rim size, the harmony is lost in the relation between rim size, tire height, and the amount of empty space between the tire and the fender. The solution is always to drop it.
Just my two cents.
