They look pretty good. Throw some Chevy or SS decals over the bimmer center logos. Are they 17"?

I like them. Would look better chrome/polished, but I like them. Also agree with putting the SS or Chevy logo on them.

The silver looks good on NBM but you need to polish the lips - hard to tell they have a decent dish...

I like them if they are priced cheap. If not then you could find something better. Some strano springs could help you with the stance.

I think they look good. Just need some better pics with the car lowered and some tire dressing on the tires but other than that, they look pretty good to me.
