Nope, he was the only one who caught it. The stock lug seized on and snapped the stud off

Wheels are the one thing that everyone differs opinions on. The only thing i don't like about them is they're pretty heavy and the spokes buldge out making it very easy to curb

What don't you like about them? just wondering..

Dracord I think your wheels look perfect.
If I recall they are 17" and I'm very surprised buy how much I like them.
I would have went for 18" but now that I see the 17" Milla's I sold on your look.

Aside from being very clean looking (much like the schmid-ster) and accentuating the body kit they do a great job of not drawing attention to the stock brakes behind them.

Don't worry about the heavy weight, I've had many a friend with forged wheels bend a rim on potholes--not me

Is a turbo in the first picture, or are you just happy to see me?

Thanks I wish i would have gone 18's, i'm still looking for some lightweight 18's, but most of those = $$. I weighed these, and they are 44 pounds with tires. I'm gonna get my stock wheels on the same scale to see how much difference there is.

I'm going to paint the stock calipers black, try to hide them even more
