New wheels (5Zigen FN01R-C)
17 X 8s in hyper black. Why 17 X 8s? Well, bought some new Advans last week and had them mounted. Discount Tire scratched 3 of my wheels while mounting them 
. So, they replaced the wheels with these; free of charge of course.
[edit] I believe they're +25 and they just clear the calipers. Unfortunately, they're rubbing on my mud flaps so I'll either have to cut them or take them off. Dunno yet, that's a job for tomorrow

Sorry but I dont like em too. Are they lightweight? If they are light, then I dont mind having them as track wheels, but otherwise I would buy the rims you got. Sorry but just IMO.

. I prefer them over the stock wheels even though I admit there are many better wheels out there on the market.No need to apologise about posting your opinion; not everybody will like them

The reason for black is the whole white/black contrasty theme I'm going for:

Niiice! I like 'em, a lot. I only like the bronze with the black or blue.
FWIW, the 17" X 9" weigh 17 lbs, I imagine the 8" wheels weigh even less.
If I may, one suggestion: if you lower the car or set camber to most negative setting, the wheels won't appear to stick out so much.
