Question New Wheels: Bling bling or Niiiiice?

Ok, after all my research and backspacing investigation, I went to have the new wheels mounted. No go, needed a spacer. Picked up said wheels today with spacers and proceeded to mount them. I'll be investing in a torque wrench until 1/4" or 7/32" hubcentric spacers are fabricated and can get those on.

But, just curious what everyone thinks. I like them, they look better than expected I think and its not a Cobra R. Dont' worry about hurting my feelings. I won't burn your house and car down or eat your children or anything. I promise.

What size tires/rims are those? I like them but they look tiny . Maybe you just need to lower the car.

LOL, still 4x4'ing, but thats next after new spacers (already had to tighten them up once tonight ), some nice springs to drop it a bit. The front is 17x8 with 255/40s and the rear is 17x10 with 285/40s.
