Ok - first I have a set of H&R springs waiting to go on in addition to a new set of Billsteins (it def needs to be lowered a little). I was going to wait until I had the suspension installed before I put the wheels on but the suspense was killing me... I should have waited... At first I thought the wheels would have had a deeper concaveness to them. I probably should have asked for a 35 series profile instead of the 30 to fill up the wheel well a little more. Not sure what to do... Do I sell them and get something different??? What do you guys think? The wheels are Alufelgen SF-71.

I love those Alufelgen SF-71. I think you're driving yourself crazy for no reason. Your car looks really nice and classy. If you want to lower it some then OK, however the wheels and tires are sweet!

I like the wheels but personally would gone with something darker in color to create a contrast with the silver car

I think the wheels look good, but if you are looking for more concave action, it probably will just irk you down the road.

Looks good, I understand what you mean about the concavity (i made that up). It could be more. Also once you drop that puppy it will be really nice!
