I'll go ahead and back you up... We are here in south FL, and you can get away with 'more bling'... no problem. Infact its preferred.

Its like when your GF wears 4"heels out at night... not even a big deal down here... She needs the 6" stilettos to stand out.

MichaelD is infamous around these parts
Wheels are a fashion thing, and many of those wheels just look really dated. The spec multis would have looked brilliant when you got them 5 years ago, but they are now a very old design.

Similarly, the Concave straight 8 look like something from the 90s, if you want to complement your 2013 car, you should think about wheels that don't look like you bought them secondhand some years ago. Thin spokes and not too many of them is the current style

Thanks guys for the suggestions..... I am sure some will love the look and others hate it...

I went with H&R lowering springs, 360 Forged SL10 ,,,, 20x9 F and 20x11 R .....

All brushed no shine and "may" apply a very light gunmetal coating ... Not sure on the coating yet...

Wow, I simultaneously totally agree and totally disagree with everything you've said.

Wheels being "fashion" IS the problem. I would restate your claim as; Aftermarket wheels are a fashion thing.

The 2013 car in question is of a design developed in the first half of the 2000s. Wheels that look good or "correct" with that body will always be the wheels that look good and correct. It is as likely to look bad with trendy wheels from the 80s as with trendy wheels from today.

Ideally, wheels are only fashion to the degree that the entire car's design is. Car design certainly has its fashions and styling trends. Wheels should be a part of the styling of the car. Does that make them "fashion"? Sure, to a point it does.

Many people identify a difference between "style" and "fashion". Cars are styled, styles change and evolve. Fashion on the other hand, can be defined as something so ugly, they have to change it every season.

Don't put fashionable wheels on such a beautifully styled car.

Or do what you like.

I'm just ranting.

If it is less than 60% off, I could see that as a good deal... Maybe even 50%. But if they give that '40-45% off' MSRP line, you are not getting a good deal.

(I've already dealt with this)

Good luck!
