Take a pic of smoke billowing out of the rear wheel wells--smoky burnouts make ANY wheel look better! Anyways as far as my oppinion I wouldnt take them off a car I bought but at the same time I wouldnt purchase them to put on a car. If that makes sence.

Wheel design is cool, but I think it would look better other than chrome.

Agree if you must keep them, try black centers, keep the chrome lips

Definately not the worst I have seen but not the best. I don't really see a lot of wheels that I like for our cars. At least its not this killer combo I saw the other day on a "pimped" camaro.

Like everyone else who can't afford CCW's, Fiske, etc... I'm rolling on Z06's:



Never said I didn't like your rims, just said they would look THEIR (not the) best if the spokes were gloss black and the lips were still chrome

They're not as bad as I thought they'd be honestly, but I would've done 18s out back, 17s in front.

I don't mind them, they are alittle flashy for most people (I like the 19/20's if they are subtle rims). The main problem I have is the 2" difference, it is hard to match the tire sidewall heights front and rear with 18/20 combo on a Fbody, most front tires end up looking like they have a taller sidewall than the rear and that is a MAJOR no no when trying to make the car flow.
I run 19x9.5 w/ 275/30R19 in the front
and 20x12.5 w 345/25R20 in the rear
Sorry I don't have any good pics of a full car shot, but I have some wheel pics in this thread
