Not feeling those too much, maybe if they were polished instead of chrome, the chrome is hard to focus on with such small spokes.

A little too busy for my taste, but if you like them, that's all that counts.

I agree. A hyper-silver color would look better. That chrome just doesn't do it for your car. Not a horrible look though.

well I just ordered that front lip and it will be the same color since my car is the same as his
I also ordered some Hypersilver 18 x 9.5 TSWs Biggest problem is NYS and the damn front license plate law, really ruins a perfect front end like his picture shows

Hmmm.....mixed feelings here; too much bling bling for my tastes. I'm not even a fan of them on actual Corvette ZR1's. Just too much going on.

But hey, not to many F-bodies sporting them so you definitely stand out! Plus you got a rocking deal on them.

Had high hopes for these wheels but now I see they wont work. From the side they just look too flat. Or it could just be that they weren't meant to be made in small sizes. I think 19's or 20's on a vette might look better.

Same here.


Too many spokes looks like wire wheels. Can't beat a 5 spoke IMO.

Took the words right out of my mouth. MIGHT look a little better in silver.

I like them. I think they would look better on your car if they were a gunmetal or dark silver. But they dont look bad as is by any means at all IMO. One question- where did you buy the BFG KDW2's? I can't seem to find them anywhere...
