Default Any thoughts on these wheels.....?

What do you guys think of these wheels?

I found them on a group buy.

18x9's complete set of four INCLUDING shipping for $615

19x9.5's complete set of four INCLUDING shipping for $1020

Silver finish

HyperSilver Dark Finish

another HyperSilver Dark pic
<img src="http://members.aol.com/daytonimports/evo2.jpg" alt=" - " />

Basically want to know what you think of the looks of the wheel.

I can't post the info on here because the seller is not a board sponsor, but email me at cruiserfj80@yahoo.com with subject "HPRACING Wheel Info" if you like them and want to know where to buy them.

More eye candy...these are 19x8.5's Dark Silver Finish in these pictures:

These wheels come in a 5x120 bolt pattern, and fit our 5x120.65 just fine.

I don't care for them too much. I bet it would be hard to clean them too. I like a simple, chrome rim. There's a lot going on with that design. To each his own...

I like those wheels a lot! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> You can't beat that price either!

Sweet! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

By request, here are some more pics of these wheels:

Look at the big lip on the 19x9.5's!

1st pic here are some that have had the centers repainted black. Looks damn good IMHO and the lip looks really sweet here:
<img src="http://www.ayresweb.com/wheels/19x95_painted_black.jpg" alt=" - " />
Higher definition picture here : http://www.ayresweb.com/wheels/19x95_1.jpg

Thought those might interest a few people who inquired about them. Those 19x9.5's definitely have a BIG lip on them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Sweet looking rims, could ya get them in a 17x9 and 17x11 setup. If so what would the price be on those. I would be interested in that setup with the right backspacing. PM me if you like with the details.
Thanks
Mike

Although nice, I think those wheels better suit import cars. They just don't say 'Camaro' to me.

OK...for everyone shouting "ricer", do these wheels look "ricer" to you too?

Is it just because they are not the standard 5-spoke design that you don't like them?

I'm about sick and tired of everyone crying "ricer"
at everything they don't like. Let's look at this
wheel next to a classic Fikse FM/10 shall we?

Hrm, something to think about.
