WOW those look great. So much better than stock.

I do like how they look once they are on the car......Are you going to lower it.....that would look tight.....

[APEXistud]

They definately compliment the look of the P5, but there are quite a few other rims I would have thought of before I even considered looking at those. You will definately need to lower the car. Of course all that really matters is how you feel about the rims. So, I'm glad you like em.

Hey they look damn nice newf....I saw you posting them on toprotege.com too...figured id compliment you here, im too lazy to compliment on 2 different sites :D

Your gonna be one stylin Newfie.....lol

Seriously, nice. What size, and type of tires?

I also noticed the PIAA on your car. Is there a spot in St. Johns that sells them? No one around here got them I don't think.

oh the last shot is with the magnet bra back on...it went on sweet today i guess cause the hood was warm from sitting in the sun..
oh and APEXistud...the offsets are weird on the p5..40-won't fit at all so wheels like the konig imagine/etc were out, 42 is iffy, on a 7.5 rim 45-48 is a min on the offset so my choices were limited unless i wanted rubbing. keep in mind i wanted a mesh style rim, and something different..

everyone has their likes and dislikes and that cool, but you can't deny they look better then stock :)
