Ive gone from not liking your car, to loving it. Those wheels turn your car into a mean looking machine. Good job!!

I like them! Nice photos...
Two things...
Whenever you use spacers you need longer bolts....
And those 275/40 look huge in the rear... your speedo is going to have be off. Do you have PSM? That could be messed up as well as the ABS too...

Nice improvement. Looks very unique. But Mladen, c'mon... I'll let you keep the color coated side markers, but those headlights just KILL me. Just because you CAN paint something doesn't mean you should. This is just the designer in me talking (I'm actually writing this while IN a design conference.). I know, I know, it's your car and you can do what you want... But with the high gloss of your new wheels and the ever-shinyness of your paint, the painted silver up front isn't flowin'. Let's get you some clears -or better yet, Litronics. I only say this because I care about the well-being of you and your car.

Man those new wheels look awesome DJ! A huge difference in the look of your car. What type of settings did you use in the pics?

These are exactly the wheels that came to mind when you painted your previous wheels black. The center caps came out perfectly.
I might have gone with metallic gun metal or metallic silver calipers to compliment your rare metallic jade green paint, but yellow serves up a nice contrast too.
p.s.
I think you need a new font for your photog signature.
The caligraphy style lettering looks weird on sports car pics.

I think they suit your car pretty good, but as far as authentic Posche-design and style goes this is a completely opposite direction of all that they stand for and even though it actually looks quite OK, it's still a bit too 'pimped out Subaru' to my liking.

actually these are very similar in design to the original 1993 Boxster concept wheels, almost identical really...
