Wheels take patience, but they're much easier to work with than say, self obsessed models ;)
Check back on Saturday afternoon or night, I'll have some pics of them mounted and installed.

Oh my god!!
Your car is soooo hot! Do you have the lowering springs from the Toyota dealer? It's an awesome drop, on a awesome car, with awesome wheels! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for all your comments.
Special thanks to J@C2SPL for getting these out to me so fast. Yes, the springs are from Toyota, and they are an Eibach Pro-Kit series lowering spring. The drop is about 1.5" front and rear, or more possibly, 1.5" Rear - 1.3" Front. I noticed that when the 15" RS rims, the gap between tire and wheel well was smaller that what it is now with the 17" Konigs. The car sits slightly higher now, and that the gap between the wheel well and tire is a nudge bigger. It still looks "lowered", but the fit is not quite as tuck, as the DF210. If you want to really close up the wheel well gap and fill that space, I think a set of 17" wheels and DF210 springs would do the job. There are no rubbing or contact issues at all, as I was doing doughnut turns and u-turns at a parking lot happily. Road noise is very prominent now, but that comes with the territory when running low profile tires. In addition to that, my tires are considered hard compound so the road noise verberates all over! Handling is better now; the tires don't skip and hop when doing long curves. Overall, they're great for performance and aesthetics.
