I like the look, and THAT is what sold me. Its not for everyone but I must say...in my opinion...it is a baaaadassss combo.

It does look good IMO too.... which is why I was thinking of getting 17x9's with the -38mm cuz its basically the same, just more "lip" on the 9" wide wheels.
The 28mm difference is just over 1", plus you get 1/4" cuz it's wider which is effectively the 17x8.5" with the 1.25" spacer.
thanks for your insight! Time to save some $$$ for a BMC and new wheels lol
