They are just as shiney! The only "black" part on the wheel that I can see is the inside of the wheel!

They look great! They complement the color of your car well.

One question though.....you mentioned offsets of 42 for the front and 45 for the rear. It sounds rather low. I can't tell from the pictures but do they stick out from the wheel well? Do they rub during hard cornering?

Wheels look really nice. However, look out for some oversteer...your front tires are (probably) quite a bit wider than the stock fronts, while your rears are quite a bit narrower (again, probably) than the SO-2's. If my memory serves, the front 205's are really more like 195's, while the rear 225's are closer to 255. Assuming your tires are actually rated correctly ( ), your traction balance is going to be very different from stock...

After doing some measuring, and serious considering, I have decided to take a hit on the rear tires, and go with 265/35-18's in the rear. I will be paying about $70.00US more for the rears, and I have to take a %15 re-stocking fee hit on the old tires. I decided to do this because after measuring the tires, the stock setup was about an inch wider! Oh well, I guess I have learned the hard way.
