The tomatoes look promising.
 Oh yeah, the wheels do look nice. Just right for the car. |

The RS wheels are excellent - light and strong - excellent!

Fred, those wheels are great, light and strong, looks like you have the 7&9's which you can do 225/245 tires for a little extra grip.
Here are mine in action.

They're 8's & 9's. 225/50-16 & 245/45-16 Hankook Ventus R-S2's.
Complete with idiot hashmarks in yellow marking pen by the tire place. I showed them the serial numbers, stacked them all up by size, etc., matched which location / direction to which serial number, etc. They really fill out the flares better than the old 968 wheels & spacers did, especially in the front. Have the digicam today, she's pretty disgusting inside & out, will be getting her detailed this week I think.
