I can see them looking good on a 3rd gen, kind of NASCAR. I kow of a girl who has them on her '80's Monte SS, they actually look damn good...the Monte pulls off the NASCAR look very well.

I mainly see them on Jeeps though, I actually almost put a set on mine but went with the D spokes instead.

How they look isn't even in the equation...Their offset is way wrong for a 4th gen.

Ya my roommate has those on his 08' Wrangler, I never once thought about putting them on my Camaro.



Looks good on his jeep though.

i don't think they'd look bad at all. definitely cheap and lightweight. of course, i tend to go my own way and that happens to be the exact opposite of the way everyone else is going.


if this car can pull them off, why not an F-body?
