Default Thoughts on these?

I've seen these on a couple of F-bods. Just looking for opinions. I'm not crazy about the centers, but I do like the fact that they're not as common as some of the other choices.

I've got the same wheels, only in silver instead of gunmetal. I get tons of compliments on them at every car show I go to.

I like them but the editing makes them look off... Plus the rear tire has a lower aspect ratio than the front :o

The photochop does make them look goofy, but I think they would look good.

They look better in person too. I can't take a good picture for sh*t, but the gloss and reflectiveness is much better than it looks like in the pics of mine.
