Looks like you're doing fine with the picture posting. Aside from posting M-O-R-E

That's not too shabby. Now I take it that the wheels were photoshopped onto the pic right?... seems like the bug is riding higher than normal. Whatever the case is, the wheels will work, IF the car is riding lower. If I wasn't so swamped with TOD stuff, i'd run it through PaintShopPro real quick, but i am so swamped.

Now a red pinstripe in the rim might be something to consider too.

Those are really nice. Are they platinum grey? Those might look good on my '04. Thanks for posting the pic.

Thank you! They're the gunmetal gray ones. Discount Tire Direct ships them for free and you get free valve stems and an installation kit. The whole package (17x7 5/100 bolt pattern) was only about $450.
