i would say no but then again dont let me change your mind there just not my taiste and who knows you may by em and have em put on and they may look really good cause to thats about the only way to really know how a wheel/wheels will look is when there on the car and sittin down on the ground and not on a lift to see how sit as far as wheel gap and stuff like that

Powdercoating the centers would make them look a lot better IMO

Hey:

How hard are wheels to come by there, I would ****** them up, and give them a try you might be surprised on how they look once on the car. Is the price $250 each wheel or the set?
Cleaned up and polished out they would probably look good.
Powder coating the center of the wheel black or colour match to your car may look good also, depends on the offset and where the lip sits in relation to the body. The only way to really find out is try them on, and if you don't like them sell to someone else. Good Luck on your endeavor.

I'd ask him if you could throw one on your car before you buy. He may not be that cool but it'd be worth a shot. How wide are they?

Some "ghettoish" wheels, that I think are kind pushin it...however they make look decent since they got the 5-spoke thing goin on as well as that deep dish.

IMO I'd rather save up another $150 or so and pick up some black ZR1's from OEwheelsLLC.com
