Meh, they're alright. I think most factory wheels look bad, though the 2012 Brembo wheels?..... nice. These would do for the time being until you could afford a nicer set. Can't tell if those wheels are 18" or 19" but what gets me here in these pictures is the stance. Is that going to be stock ride height? It looks like they minimized the 4x4ness, but it could just be my eyesight going.

I would classify them as 15 footers, they look great from 15 feet away or more. Up close, I am not digging them.

They are supposed to be 19", 255s on the rims. It does look like they may have lowered the car a bit this year, or maybe it's just the body style change.

I thought it was lowered a little too, but honestly, I think it might just be the painted skirts... The GTs from 05-09 have that same optical illusion if you look at the from that angle.

I don't like the new rims personally, nor the front bumper. The rear end looks better, and I love the taillights.

Nice for a factory option, but I know those narrow slots would be a bit*h to clean.
