It sounds like a hot setup I probably would have done the same if it was available at the time. The good news is I'm still very happy with my dolled up XL all-wheel drive. 👍
I'm glad you ended up getting what you liked.
I feel the same regarding the "truck" look of these wheels. I realize you can find cheaper, but the additional $400 over the cost of cheaper options was worth it for me.
I was concerned that they may be loud, but they're not. You feel a little of the aggressive sidewall on the turns. I like that the silver is a darker silver.
Definitely worth the $ for the upgrade. I just couldn't get past the color combo of the interiors un the XLT 's. I had to step down to XL and add wheels and cruise.
Its my understanding that is remedied by adjusting (twisting) the angled collar on the stem included. This is the intended reason Rostra included the angled ring so that there IS adjustability on the install. It can actually be angled up.
Funny enough, the interior is why I dropped down to the XL. Not as bad as it seems on the inside. my pics are dark. The hard plastics are dark blue. I would prefer black or graphite plastics. So, yeah, I dig the darks.
