I'm on the other side and like the wheels; the only change I would make is to go to 18's. They have a Shelby CS66 style to them - what wheels are they?

Bigger is always better, but they are brand new tires and Im not taking it into shows so I went somewhere between dropping 2 grand for 18"s+ and sticking with stock wheels. Im happy.

They are 17" Velocity wheels, nothing name brand or too fancy, just wanted something that would stand out from te thousands of stock 2013 & 14 stock wheels rolling around out there

Very subtle indeed. Looks great. I'm also gonna have to say that I'm not digging your wheels, but if you like them then more power to you.

I am gonna have to go with the consensus and confess that I don't like the wheels.

I accept and support your logic with them though. Personally I would have kept the stockers setup or replaced all the way around. 17" wheels just look way to small on these cars IMO.

Now, random, have you thought about plastidipping your chrome grill surround? I have been thinking about that since you did the pony. I think it would add a neat touch to the front. I just don't like chrome on a modern car, and it is only one lonely strip.
