Looks great! But I do lean towards the design on the rear.

I prefer the 5-point star in the rear.
Never been a fan of the 6-spoke.

As mentioned in the other thread, I like them b/c they are different. That's somewhat why I picked the rims I'm running on my Nova. Everyone it seems has the usual Welds and Bogarts, so stand out a bit and try something different!

you can dye your hair pink and shave off your eyebrows if you want to be different too Not that there is anything wrong with that..

Sometimes things are popular and common for a reason

Not feelin' the 6 spoke, looks like my trailer wheels, but I'm not that picky about wheels. If they are round and hold air they are a damn fine wheel IMO..
