They knocked off Spoon's logo

I don't like the convex center.

The wheels are nice. The gold would look very nice with the white, however they are on 6.5 wide (for the 15"). My Heluims are 6.5 wide and with only 8 psi of boost I already feel like I need more tire. With a 6.5 wheel 205 tires are the biggest you can fit. I would look for something wider, especially since you indicated that you road race and auto X. Just my opinion.

FWIW I'm running 225-50-15's on 6.5" Motegi's. They fit.

A friend of mine had a set and when he got into an accident they shattered. They were great looking wheels but if you hit anything with them you're done.
