Default thoughts on foose nitrous wheel

http://www.mhtwheels.com/wheel.cfm?brand=4&cat=113



i think these are a great alternative to torque thrusts and something new and different, is anyone running them on a fbody yet and how do they look?

they prolly cost an assload of cash since they have the word "foose" on em..... they are beautiful wheels but i guarantee their cost makes them not a very good alternative for all but the richest f-bod drivers.. i'd love to see a set of the black ones in 20" on a black C6...... that **** would look BAD AS A MOTHAF)(*)@A!

As long as they come in the right widths and offsets... looks like a nice modern muscle car wheel to me. I think they would look great on f-bodies. Alot like the smoothie II's and Torq Thrust II's that are really popular.

My buddy works for Ford & has a retro body mustang with the "elinor" package on it. Stripes, hood shaker & all. He is riding on these wheels & I believe he said they were 20" in front & 22" in back. It looks like a showcar. I personally would never run rims that big, but to each their own.

Sending this pic to a guy I know with a silver TA, he'll be ready to order some. These are pretty sharp, and I usually don't care much for non-polished or non-chrome wheels.

Your opinion wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that they are one of your sponsors?
