I think if you were looking for a clean wheel to compliment your 8 then they would be a good choice, clean lines and not too busy. However if you were going after a track wheel or tuner look they might not be the best choice.

So far the sensors have simply startled me. I almost spilled my coffee the first time it beeped. I was like "holy shi*, what was that?".
If they don't fit im not losing any sleep over it.I'm ordering them tomorrow but will of course post pix when theyre installed. I think ive looked at every rim option but settled on these. It was these or Axis Hiro's or the Ggames Wolf 77's. All look great but these so far are unique.

TSW does make some nice looking wheels for a decent price, but not a fan of that split 5 spoke look

I haven't had a chance to ask about the Sensors but the tires are Nitto (yes, balanced and mounted). I only drive 9k miles a year (or less) and i dont race so im not terribly concerned about upgrading the tires.
So far the sensors have simply startled me. I almost spilled my coffee the first time it beeped. I was like "holy shi*, what was that?". If they don't fit im not losing any sleep over it.

Since i was told they do accept the TPMS I will be doing so
