more than likely they will work fine but i try to base wheel buys on overal weight. no sense in upgrading to a aftermarket wheel if it weighs 5 lbs. per wheel more than your oem models since it will cut into your gas mileage.

not to mention that after a while that CF coating will start to get pits or nicks in it and will start flaking.

^^ What UrSONvS said. You may get the "cool" factor for the random teenage, but they will hurt your gas mileage and pit easily.

Lot's of people say lightweight wheels cost too much, but then go and buy 25lb wheels and in a year spend the same amount EXTRA on gas as the difference would be to buy the lighter weight wheels and save money.

They'll look like shit in a year when that CF coating starts chipping and flaking. I always thought fake CF was kinda stupid anyway.

well they weigh 18 pounds per rim. is that good? heavier or lighter then a stock wheel? and they also have a one year warranty.

the weight isn't bad, if I remember correctly the standard is usually that it should weigh less in pounds than the diameter in inches but you're around there.

I think they'll only get uglier with time imho
