I guess I'm just not a wheel guy but I don't see the appeal of buying bigger rims. Are the stock ones really that bad? Is that really a good investment? To each their own but I just don't understand it.

I'll take a guess...
Of all the wheels that fell within his budget, he liked these the most...and, of course, he forgot to check with you first.

Nice wheels, I like them. Look like an OEM upgrade, which is a compliment.

I'm definitely considering it. But I'm going with spacers first to get the wheels flush with the fenders. It'll look more aggressive.

Wheels are just fine but I'm more interested in your take on the tires. How are they in terms of ride handling and noise. The Prada Specs were not available when I needed tires last year and I opted for the Yokohama Advan ENVigor. They have performed well for my needs but they are VERY noisy when driving in anything but a straight line. As soon as I turn the wheel they start growling.
