Peoples, Read the original post!
"Had these rims laying around garage from my GST so I figured I would throw them on and then pick up some new tires down the road, the oem 16s were getting clse to being in need of a replacement anyways."

Meaning, I didnt payout for the wheels! the 10m diff will not cause the wheels to fall off. Its a temp solution till I feel like purchasing some new rubber. Yes, They do look out of proportion and do not fill the wheel gap properly but IMO I still feel lik they look better than the stocker hub caps.

Nice! Yea, if your Outie came in the hub caps, then HANDS DOWN the rims right now look better than the hubs.
Are the rims 16"s? Mann, if they were 18s, or 20s, with the current tire profile, it would look soooo nicee!!

Whoops, had to edit my original post to include that they are 18s now.

The ES came with 16" hubcaps (bleh)
so I put on the 18" GST rims.
