Default These rims on my car?????

Just trying to get some opinions on these wheels. Would they look very good on my car in 18's all the way around? I can get em for a helluva price w/ all four tires.

These wheels (Fikse Aro's, 18's)


On this car:

I say go for it, I really like the way those rims look and they sure do cost some money. If you decide to pass them up, shoot me a PM on who's selling them .

I attached some closer images of em:

The wheels on the blue Hot Rod Camaro, and my Camaro are the FIKSE Profil 13's. The Aros, are ever so slightly different (10 spoke too). Also, the blue Hot Rod Camaro is running 17" wheels. My SS is running 18"s

Here are some crappy pics of them on my car, just trying to get an idea of what they would look like:





Oh, and they ended up being 18 in. Fikse Mach V's w/ basically brand new Mchelin Pilot's on em, not Aro's like I had originally thought.

I like the way it looks, but it needs to be a lot lower than it is now. Sportlines maybe!

IMO they look a little too much like a tuner type wheel. The profil 13's now are a different story!

I say keep the ZR1's(and thats comming from a person who doesn't like ZR1's in any form or fashion!)

keep the zr1's and still lower the car, zr1's look real nice on a lowered car.
