Default Anyone with these D. Earnhardt jr. rims??

So i came across these rim's in the local "Firestone" place. Lookin for some new tire's, anyway's i noticed the rim's that were on display and i saw these Dale Earnhardt Jr. rim's......

Pic taken with Camera Phone, idk the exact rim's these are.



I was wondering is anyone here running these rim's??? Or do you guy's think they would look good on my Camaro??? I was thinkin about the TT2's, but ive already seen 3 Camaro's, and 2 Tran's Am's here with those style. So im not even gonna bother with those rim's anymore.

Those look like the Dale Earnhardt Killers. There are some threads with a couple of guys running this wheel. You might want to try and search.

They are the killer series wheel. I'll have mine here in a few days. They are the replacement for the rebels.

Does anyone know if they come in chrome? Those would look great on a white or silver car.

Check out Tirerack.com, that's where I first saw these wheels like last week. You can see on there how they'll look on your car too.

18x10 and the 18x8.5 look like they would fit good. Once again they made the 17x9 in a 25mm offset. When are they going to learn that those won't fit?
