looks nice dude.

Just a comment on your list of things to do...

I wouldn't advise putting 225/50R16 GS-D3s on those wheels. I tried that and found the tyres rolled too much causing an odd sensation with handling. With the car parked up, you could push it and see it rocking on the tyres. Changing to the facelift wheels made a fair bit of difference, even though they are 1/2 an inch wider. (plus different offset)
I think you would be better sticking with the 205/55R16s or changing wheels.

I would seriously consider new wheels then!

Put it this way, went around a corner fairly agressively and came out with the car rolling all over the place, even my passenger said "WTF was that?" stopped the car and checked everything, thought something was broken :P

after that, took it easy till I changed the rims.... could get 2 ayc bars just by giving the steering wheel a little wiggle :P
