Lanson...I really like the second wheel you pictured even the second time!... especially since they are completely finished and gloss black to the inner rim.. really nice finishing touch compared to OEM flowers. 

Wonder if the SHO center cap will fit or if I'd have to get Billet badges or someone to make me one?

Sorry, I just can't get used to the all black wheel look.  Have you considered machined rims, hyper silver or chrome?   I think chrome looks really good on black.

I agree. Most cars, dark colors and especially black just pop with a splash of chrome. I will be installing these in couple weeks. Mulling over tire choices. Trying to find a good all season performance tire that will be quiet and hold its on in all road conditions.

They "should" fit.  You could maybe also get a vinyl sticker made instead, to match.

I don't think so.  The title of the thread is Mulling over rim choices.  Looks wide open for anyone/any wheel.  My wheel thread was the same way.

It's a classic jacking ... I keep getting notifications that someone has posted in my thread and they don't have anything to do with the rims I posted up or they have to do with somebody else asking questions about rims that will fit their car

It may help if you change the title of the thread to "Frozen Taurus's Wheel Choices" or something like that.  But it may be too late now.

"Mulling over rim choices" is the title of my thread and that implies "everybody" is? huh weird ...I guess I'll be way more specific when titling threads next time  :P

You could also uncheck the box that says to notify you everytime someone replies. Then just check at your leisure.

Hows about something that is custom 2/3 piece, and below the budget beltline?

Get them painted any color combo you want, and any offset you want.  Price is ridiculously low.  I'm not even sure they'd honor it, but I imagine it would be worth a shot.

Classic threadjacking happening here. There is more threadjacking going on in this forum than all of the other car forums I am on combined.
