well they would be cheap for here but expensive over where you are.

Works out about $3,430

Im not too sure myself about the look... guess thats why Im asking for second opinions

I'd question if there were in fact true "giovanna's"

but not feeling them all the way. that square on top of the spoke makes it look weird

I think your current rims go better with the car.

If you want to spend $3400 dollars I can give you some way better options that you would love.

Was just looking at your site Stefwilli, can you tell me how much would shipping cost (rough guess will do) to ship to London UK? (thats if you ship abroad)

That would be a set of 20" rims no tyres.

I'm not feeling the rims either, and for that price, you could find a set of wheels that better set off your car.
