Wheels are 16x8. They really aren't that big. I felt 17s would be too big for this small car. Maybe you mean huge like a huge difference. It is! These wheels are actually on the car under the caps on the 3rd page.

My wife picked the color. It is her car after all. I think she did good too.

I found a decent deal on interior. 3800 for the interior and another 450 to finish out the trunk. It will match the interior.

Thanks for the compliments, car should be back from interior next week with freshly polished stainless and new glass as well. Then all we need is chrome for the bumpers
