Default Need opinions on these wheels

What do you think, kind of a poorman's Fikse. I am contemplating rims when tax time comes.
Andy, do you think Mark can make me some SS decals that will work on these center caps??

The black outline SS logos should work on those if they're not too domed. What's the diameter of that centercap?

If the wheels are of good quality I'd say they look very nice, I think I'd see about flat center caps with Marks SS decals on them.

Don't like them. The center section is to big and the spokes just dont look right. It also has a huge stepped lip makeing the center section look like its for a 15" rim. A very bad copy of the Boyds Timeless 5.

Mark, thanks for the response, I'll have to email them for some dimension on the center cap. Thats what I was worried about, it looks in the pic to be too narrow for the letters to look and stick right.
Also I don't the the center section looks that large, no worse then my chrome 10 spokes that I have now. I do want to see these wheels in person before I make a decision. does boyds have a website?
