I think they look OK, but hard to tell when only seeing part of the car at a time. Got any pics of the whole side of the car, to get an idea of the overall look?

I'm just not really a fan of Foose wheels period, they don't look too bad, but not my first choice either.

Foose is the man in most things that he does...but not a fan of his wheels. They're all too "busy". Too much activity going on w/ them, with the rivets and angles and cuts and edges and the jags and points. I like simple wheels...simple is good.

But as long as you like them....

I kinda like them. To me it looks like the type of wheel that would look better in person then in pictures.

The price was right, you need to lower it a bit and it would look much better.

Nice car.

What's on there now? How wide are the wheels? A 275 should look alright, I don't know how much wider you can go.
