Default Need opinions on these wheels..
Here is a pic of my car and then the wheels, I liked the black insert think it would look good with my paint, however I'm on the fence. They have them in all chrome also, just trying to do something different then the OE Wheels...opinions and flames welcome
Here is my car...


The wheels...

They look like gangster rims, especially if you keep that billet grill.

Yeah, I don't hate them but I think they would look a lot better if they were all chrome.

I think they will look good, but only in 18''...that Vette is too pimp to my taste with the huge size rims.

Ya that was the outcome I was expecting lol.. I'm just looking for some different, here in Columbus everyone has C6, Z06, TTII's etc... So just trying for a different look, however don't wanna be "gangsta" lol. So what about these, they have a nice looking lip, a nice 5 star but doesn't look "gangsta". I wish it was smooth and didn't have the rivets, buy hey what ya gonna do




Here in black on a Trans Am...after seeing this I kind of like the color combo, but still am a fan of chrome

do you have a price range on the rims? can never go wrong with some FM5's if you're looking for a 5 spoke design
