Put some Street edition wheels on my coupe

Original 2009 non polished wheels



Polished Street edition wheels



I think they make a big improvement

I'm not sure I like it.  I think maybe if you sent them to me and I tried them on my car my opinion might change.  It's a risk I am willing to take.

Yes but they are 1/4 the size of the stock spokes so it's still half the work to clean them.

Sweet street edition wheels, I like the coupe part better  :D

Yes at some time in the 2009 model year the non chrome wheels changed to the type I took off. The Chrome 5 spoke wheels were still the same style as the 2006-08 style. Why? I don't know.

Thanks DeepBlueGXP! I do think they look much better than the stock 2009 non polished 5-spokes.

Just wondering but is it possible to get one of the other versions of GJ on the off chance it's an improvement?
