Yes very different, but not overstated, and looks good.

The spoke pattern looks nice, but some deeper lips would have been nice.

polish up those headlights!

They look like SSR's. They're pretty nice, and light weight.

I'm not usually for a general 5+ spoke design, but yours looks really good, gives the car a more exotic look.

You win the prize, they are indeed SSR GT7's. They are 18X9.5" and only weigh 20 lbs ea.
In answer to "they look like rice", to each their own. What does rice look like? They are seven spoke wheels, I prefer to go my own way. Every one in the world has ZR1's, C5 or C6 wheels and I say great, if that's what you want. I am more of an individualist than a follower.

Thats one powerful sprinkler, lol.

Nice wheels, too. Agree with Tony on the deeper lips, they look too flat, but the style looks good IMO.

Not a bad looking wheel, just needs a deeper dish.

The car looks nice. I'm also a fan of a bit of a dish to the wheels. I will admit, when I saw it, I did think of Honda/Acura and this is the car that came to mind...but if you like them and think they look sweet, that is all that matters dude.
