Keep the opinions coming. I still like the Firehawk wheel, but I've only had a 5 spoke wheel on this car. I wanted to do something different. I also wanted a nice lip and to stay in chrome. NBM needs chrome in my opinion. This wheel design reminds me of the new age GTA wheel. I like being subtle with my modifications, but after 3+ years on slightly different 5 spokes it is refreshing.

I do agree that chrome looks good on nbm but in my opinion the wheels have to many spokes.

Those would have looked better in silver or brushed. Chrome makes them look kind of cheap and non-performance looking.
