Yup...huge difference..I did a double take on the before pic because I thought maybe something else was changed too (bumper, skirts, etc.)...amazing difference, looks like a different car.
A small change in the picture angle helps but still...

It's absolutely amazing how much wheels transform the look of the ENTIRE car. Car looks great man! Love the 172's! 
PS - I think I like the old wheels better.

You missed the "natural light" and "wheel" aspects here.

Yep
New wheels totally change the car, i've lucky enough to have done twice so far.
1st time going to '92 "throwing stars" on my E34 M5 from the ' 91 turbine style wheel inserts 100% improvement!
2nd time going from factory 17"s to M Style 19"s on my E60 - again 100% improvement!
cool well done!
Cheers

35% tint all around

makes a huge difference, I just got new wheels as well and now I notice that people actually notice my car now as opposed to before it was just another sedan.
