I'd like to put one on to see what it looks like but I'm sure I'll scratch the rim.
I have the same situation, pnly with red powdercoated 5-lug 15 x 8s. I planned to use wheel covers and narrown whitewalls to leave that red rim look. But, I might as well use a more common wheel for that and I'm just using dog dish with these.

Yeah, the wheels do look deeper than stock. The tires are nice and beefy, that helps with the wider look.
