Looks really good.

Have you ever considered going with a 15'' wheels perhaps? I swear you'd feel an immediate difference if you get some nice lightweight 15'' wheels. Turning, accelerating, overall handling and ride quality would be better with some nice sticky 15'' on some lightweight wheels.

Your car though, so have fun any way you choose!

I agree with B18c5 on the rims, but the car looks clean otherwise............

Just like ever one else has said nice car but hate the rims. Just not my style, but what does it matter what I think its your car and you do what ever you want to it.

Wheels are WAY too bling bling for an EG. 16" max.

Otherwise nice.

BTW, cars are horrible investments for the most part.

I like the car and it looks good with the rims...don't listen to everyone who is telling you to get 15's. If you like them...that is what counts. I like 16's myself, but whatever.

I'll have to go with the majority opinion and say the rims are a bi much on an otherwise sweet hatch, but if you like 'em that's the important part, and the rest of us are just a bunch of nay-sayers.

I like your investment! Looks good to me, but hey, I'm old-school. I don't understand why people are into those small flat-black rims, but whatever floats your boat. If you find that those wheels are too big, heavy, etc., and adversely affect your acceleration, maybe your next investment should be a swap and turbo or sc.
Anywho, nice ride!
