New 17's installed
Finally got around to buying the 17's. I know the beater is in need of a serious washing but I'll post the pics anyways. I'll take some better shots when the weather gets a littler better and I can get some time off from the multiple jobs I got going.
I noticed the shop only put spacers on the rear wheels, you can see this in the picture. The rear rotor is 3mm further back than the front. Don't know why they did that; I thought we would need spacers on all four.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (draguntib)</div><div class='quotemain'>nice! They look great on the tib! I wish i would have gotten gun metal instead of black but i still like mine!</div>
I am happy with the gunmetal. They looked similar to the hyper black, but I'm still glad I waited for the gunmetal ones. Bright sunshine really highlights nicely on the gunmetal where the hyper black appears a bit flat.
Now if I can just find some gunmetal spray paint and I'll lay a few layers of it down on my billet grills.

Looks great. Regarding the spacers, maybe the shop put them on the rear just to improve the look. My 17's didn't require any spacers at all but depends on the offset of the wheels, I guess.

I'm not sure if they need it on the front or not. The offset is +40. I get a little wheel rub only in reverse and it is just barely against the mudflap on the front wheels.
