The design looks awsome but you can put a wider rim in the back

I think those would look sick especially if you could get a wider rear wheel

Looks good but reminds me of McNords wheels on his Camaro though.

I guess you have a point when you post them up together like that but seeing only the pics of the wheels, that was the first thing that came to my mind was McNords car.

^ Personally, I think those would look better on a 5th Gen. than a 4th Gen. and I don't even think they would look that good on a 5th Gen. but that's my $0.02 though.

i think they would look ok, but the wider in the rear is a must, i only say that because it makes for a way better look,honest i would maybe try and find a beat up set of 505as or classics and maybe powder coat them white ,i like the white and black combo but i hate black wheels, the only black wheels i like are the weld rts, which in a 17,with 11 rears would look killer.thats just my 2 cents ,also billet street lights are around 1300 for 17,11 rears, rims ,lugs,etc, those look good with powder coated spokes, just trying to shoot you some options man , i love my white car, but i think polished looks the best period, i have had black wheels before and they get old fast,
