Default What do you think about these wheels?

They are custom built 3pc Forged. The Forgings are 6061 Aluminum, Made In The USA. They are unfinished, raw aluminum with tooling marks, so please dont judge based on that. Thanks.
Just gauging some interest:

Maybe you shouldn't have titled the thread WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK if you didnt want opinions. If you like them get them. If you like them, who cares what other people think? And if for some reason you do care what others think (which you obviously do, hence your creating this thread) you shouldn't go lippin off when someone gives you their opinion that you asked for, in the first place.

I wondered the same thing, and was gonna ask, but then figured if they were going on an F-body, he would have photoshopped them onto a F-body, not a Vette lol. But who knows!

Needs center caps for sure.. then maybe a decision can be made, but right now it's like looking at someone with a huge mole on their face.. as hard as you try not to look at it, your eyes can't help but to go there.. moley moley moley..

I think they look cool, needs a different finish though, IMO.

However yours was a smartass remark and has nothing to do with the car in question. The internet is all too easy to be a tough guy on.

No, it really wasn't....In my opinion (what the OP asked for) I stated that I think they would look better on my girlfriends Honda civic. Because I do. I do not like the way that they look on that Vette at all, nor do I think they would look good on a F-body, I do however think they would look nice on a lowered silver civic.

No body is lipping off. I just wanted to see what other people think of a wheel on the C5. Of course i will get what i want as long as i like it, but you act like you never asked another's opinion before making an expensive purchase. It's like buying a big TV and the sales guy telling you that it'd look better in his mom's living room. That comment would have nothing to do with you getting a TV for YOUR living room. BTW for the few that said the wheel is plain, i like the plain hard edged look. Kind of like the Dick Harrell Camaro wheels, minus the stepped lip, or the thousands of HRE and CCW wheels that are plain as hell but still look good..

Dude in all honesty you said what do you guys think? Take my answer anyway you'd like, I won't lose any sleep either way. I wasn't giving a hard *** answer, i said I think they would look better on her honda, cause I think they would honestly look excellent on it, just not so much an F-body or C5. Jesus, you asked opinions and you got them. And aparently others agree, cause looking at your poll, more people dislike them than like them.
