I'm not a fan of those Hot Wheels wheels, something about them looks cheap, but I like the idea of paininting them that way, but maybe just for a different car. I don't think I see them on an F-Body.

They look very 60's, like the wheels Ford used on some Mustangs and other cars. Especially with the white letter tires, very retro. I could see them on a Fairlane or a Galaxie 500 or the like.

I’m glad to hear that some one likes them. LOL. I use to have them on the car when they were just polished but they were just to BLING-BLING for me so I did this. Haven’t got them on the car yet, I will post some pics when I put them on.

I don't really like them, but post a pic with them on the car. Maybe they'll look better then?

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, those mothers suck, dude. Hey, just kidding, really. No, REALLY! Actually they're kinda cute and I know exactly where those folks with notions on them being fordish, are coming from, they do indeed seem similar to the old magnum 500s only in reverse - check em out side by side and I think those with doubt will see what I'm getting at, anyhow its alway refreshing to see someone alter something, if only very slightly, to suit their own needs. Personally, I've run across these exact wheels before on a late F-bod, some place last summer and to be honest they looked like cold meats. I think blacking-out those broad flat polished spokes may prove to be exactly what the wheel makers should have done in the first place. Have a real feeling they'll fit the ticket when they go on. Dig the white lettering too. Never see this on low profiles. Why is that? Looks fine and, is it not, like, free advertising!?

Have: 08 DB9 (sorry )

would need to see them on the car, but i think they are going to look smaller than they are because of the black accents. but i might eat my words when you post pics!

I would never put anything on my car that said "Hot Wheels"...unless the word "Hot Wheels" was etched into a twin turbo system...

Good choice in the tires but the wheels suck ...
