I just picked up a set, but in 16", for the winter.

However, this post is relatively useless to you, considering I won't have 'em on the car for about five months. :(

I was thinking about sawpping the rims from my msp and the wifes 3 hatch. I have seen pictures of both swaps and they look good. the problem is the MSP starts to kinda look like an sentra spec-v but maybe its just me
