Looks sweet, nino....
Let us know if you notice any difference in handling and more importantly braking distance.

Enjoy

I can tell you that it is definately more heavier, Launching the car is a little slow and braking is def a lot more distance. So having said that it looks like my next upgrade are BBk, Endless brake system here I come.

What you don't notice a difference? go on the highway and go from 120 to slow down traffice you will notice the difference.

Eric,
I've seen a comparison done on a Mustang GT b4 and after wheels upgrade (to 20's from 17's) and due to unsprung weight increase, it mainly affected braking, which increased 15' from 100kph to 0. (significant).

As you say, the obvious answer is to upgrade the brakes to bring braking performance back closer to stock (or better)....

Handling.....must be better....but with the lower profile tires on 20's you have to be more careful with potholes and bumps ....

Correct me if i'm wrong, but sevas are supposively lighter than other cast wheels(from what i've heard and read). For the price and style, i wouldn't mind getting a set of these exact wheels. Wish i can get some forged, but mannnn, it seems so out of reach.

Looks good by the way

i was out on the hwy today did what you suggested, and i definately felt the difference in braking distance, so with that i may have to join you and get a BBk... but that wont be for now
