JDM tails are on the list, along with shaved marker and door handles. I think I preferred the old wheels because the lip gave them some depth and made the fenders look more curvacious.
The new wheels look smaller because the tires are bigger. The old wheels had rubber band 215/35-18's on them, these wheels are the same size, but the tires are 225/40-18. The ride is VERY supple and comfortable with the new setup.
The car almost caused a wreck today while I was working at AutoZone. A group of bikes came down the road and one slowed down while staring at the car and pointing and almost got rear-ended.
