Trying to get more opinions on these wheels, I have the CCW 505A's at the moment on the T/A, but I like this look, let me know what you all think.

That middle part around the stud holes is too big in diameter. If that was smaller, and if the spokes were longer, I'd really like them.

They would look good on an F-Body but only if you got them in 22"

Run away from those rims as fast as you can.
