absolutely yes. that is pretty much a steal for the superleggera's. those are a high quality wheel for a good price. it gets my vote.

That is a good deal. I had them in my Focus and they looked great. He may take less so try to bring him down a little more.

^^ true. they have been curbed a little bit, and you can see the damage in the pics. also, there are some marks on the center portion of some wheels. looks like whenever he/someone were bolting them on/off, they weren't careful.

Yea, like when somebody at school asks if they can "borrow" a piece of paper.

I don't see the offset, but 16x7 will work fine with the stock tires.

Question: Why would you spend more than $2100 on wheels just so that you can use the mediocre stock tires?

yeah, i just really want to keep it as stock as possible. i figure they look better than stock and it will have better gas mileage.

this is all hypothetical at this point, don't get me wrong. but, in what way would the stock tires not look right?

I would go with those 18's stolen or not... But the white 16's with stock tires will look fine too IF you lower it on Df's or something else low...

here is mine... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...109&highlight=
