Default What are these??



Trading my stockers for these rims on sunday because the guy who has them is a dealer and just got a camaro in and said he can get more with stock wheels. They look awesome in person but I would like to look up some specs on them, anyone know what they are? they're 18's and have a 245 tire so I figure they're 8 inches wide. Any help is appreciated!

I've seen those before but can't recall what they are, in my opinion they aren't worth much unless you find someone that doesn't know much about what actually looks good (which you can probably find on craigslist).

Edit:

If your wheels are chrome and in good shape... They actually bring in a good amount of $$ on eBay.

I don't think they look that bad!! Kinda like zo6 spyders but a little wider. Its all about opinon tho, i'll see how I like em on the car and if I don't like them, then i'll see what else I can get into. Not gonna turn down a free pair of aftermarket rims

They look like the DRIFTZ wheels or a knock off of them. I had looked at them before for mine because they had a staggered offset and you could get like a 3in lip in the rear.

Aftermarket does not always mean an upgrade

black 18's over stocker chrome spiderwebs=upgrade. Like I said, if you don't like them, thats just opinion. I think they look good, and don't really care if they're knock offs or not. I don't buy into that "oh your wheels aren't real, so those look ricerish"
