Oh no, get those wheels off as soon as possible!!!!! They will kill you, your family and dozes of baby seals and handle like poo, better get some 15's on there as as soon as you can......

They look good, fill the guards nicely and don't look overboard on the car.

You are correct ....first drive with them on when I took the photo and took them off when I got home.

Killed acceleration, hurt braking performance but i didn't really notice handling on the short drive. Wouldn't recommend them but I like the look of them.

Cheap rims anyone :lol: ?

They're the original BBS wheels that came with your LE. 14x6 - rare - extremely light - original - desirable. Don't lose them.

Dunno, the car looks like an NA6 LE or Vspec and he said 14 but I see what you mean - they do look 15ish.
