Thanks.
How is the handling affected?
Do you have a rear shot like this one to show the stance?

I found that when you are looking for something like this forget about Ebay. These wheels were going anywhere from $1400 without tires to $2500 with. Search Craigslist and not just in your local area. Search all the big cities. I found my wheels in California and I live in Southern IN. He was a very nice gentleman that offered to pay for shipping and when he noticed that I had some reservations (due to scams on Craigslist) he shipped first before receiving payment. You have to stay vigilant. I had my heart set on these wheels and it took me a while to find them in my price range!

The handling actually feels like it is a slight improvement. It feels a little more grounded in the front (less likely to break loose in a hard turn). Honestly, that could all be in my head and could be totally due to the fact that I love the way the wheels make the car look ! I haven't noticed a negative effect on the acceleration due to the larger wheels and tires. I was concerned with the 2.5 this could be a problem. Here are a few rear pics. I took one from the side so you could see how the lesser offset pushes the wheel closer to the outside fender.........
