Default My WS6 with the "ugly" rare wheels

Hey guys - I visit here a lot but do not post often - I bought these wheels off of a guy in my local club (Wease on here). Check out the pics - I think these wheels are getting a bum wrap - I think they look great on my car. Obviously I have seen better but I could not beat the price and one of my stock wheels was cracked. Thanks to Bill (Billium on here) for the pics!

Yep 17x9 - they are polished - much brighter than my stock speedlines - pic doesn't show that well - it was overcast.

They look a lot better on your car. Guess it's the color. Very unique and the calipers add to the look. I like it.

Actually they do look pretty good.If the price was right I don't blame you for picking them up,especially since they are 17x9.

I personally like them better than the standard WS6 wheel, they
personalize/complement your car very well.

Thanks for the comments guys - I was not looking to put money into "appearance" mods until I had the power I wanted - but unfortunately I did not have a choice.

It was 2000. I actually kinda like those wheels and they look really good on a silver car. I just wish they had WS6 on the wheel instead of the Pontiac arrowhead.

I think they look good on a silver car, it will be nice not to see another one around looking just like yours. I thought about those wheels for mine but after chrome zo6's which I didn't like, I settled for chrome firehawks. Looks great!

I don't know what the big deal is. I think they look good. You could always make them even more different, by either having them chromed, or powdercoated or painted!

The car looks good!

I like them - but probably only because you don't see them too often. Makes the car stand out == :thumbup:
