Very nice. Seems to compliment the car color well. I have 18" boy Smoothies, so mine are very similar and I love them! I am *sorta* in the process of lowering mine right now to get a better stance out of them.

Very Cool! Coys, right? I like the old school "deep dish / reversed" look and the color matches the car well. Agree on the center caps though, get those things painted!

thanks for the compliments folks. Mike said he's gonna try to change the center caps. He kinda thought the same as ya'll!

I guess you C3 guys think alike, huh?

Thanks for the comps! The fronts are 18x8 with 4in back space, rears are 18x9.5 with a 5in backspace. The tires are Nitto 555 245/45 front and 285/40 rear. Everything clears great, I even got to keep my rear sway bar. I am running offset trailing arms but it doesnt appear they were even needed. Thanks Eddie70 for running me all over town to find somebody to mount them.
