A. The design is ugly.

B. They're way to big to be on an F-body.

C. They hurt performance.


I'd rock salad shooters before I drove a car with rims like that...

Well, since you asked, here's mine:

And for the record, you can be different and still get a wheel that compliments your car. I've been on the board for two years and I have yet to see another car with my exact wheels. I've only seen two or three that have the polished version. However, I have had at least a dozen guys PM me asking what wheels I have so they can get the same ones!

I think its your car do what you want to do to it. I got flack for my 19/20 Combo on my Vette. People were saying you lose performance, heck I had absolutely no traction with the 18's I had before so I was hoping to lose a little bit! But I was dissapointed because the 20's only have a little bit more traction. If you don't have big wheels you don't know what your missing!

BIG WHEELS FTW!!!!!

It's not the size of the wheels that the "problem"...it's the wheels themselves.
I highly doubt anyone would complain about a nice set of 19" HRE's.

They look good if you want a show car kinda look, but those are probally hurting performance, they just dont give a real performance look in my opinion, but still looks good just depends on what YOUR looking for

I see it like this, its your car so do what makes you happy. I dont think they look bad but I wouldnt put them on my car personally. Some people dont care for the ground effects I have on my cars but I do. No matter what you do, some will hate it, some will like it. If you like them, then nothing else matters.

You either like them or not. I feel you have gotten more then enough feedback on your wheels. If your still debating them, then you must not like em very much.
