Default Do these wheels look good ???

Im still debating if they do in fact look good. Ive had almost everybrand name wheel from chrome, polished, silver and wanted something different. I wanted different but nice looking and I think that there is a hue on the two colors that just doesnt make it flow.

please any input is greatly appreciated.

by the way the wheels are forged and wider than stock allowing me to go with a 245/40 - 275/40 combo which I was looking for...

the wheels are Volk racing Gramlights 57F in bronze finish

Nope, these are Volk Racing Gram Lights 57F

The NISMO SE-R wheels are more convex rather than concave.

I like the stock rims already on there better. BTW, how'd you manage to just get ONE wheel? Were you just like, "hey bobby, lemme borrow your back left man?"

Thanks guys I know the OEM wheels look good but I hate seeing every G with the same wheels and same rear spoiler...thats why I opted without the aero spoiler and waited for a month.

these wheels are much lighter than the stock wheels by at least 7 lbs. on each side allowing for wider meatier tires. I love exclusivity and running stock is just not for me.

I really love the Volk SF challenge but now that everybody has it...Im second quessing it.

any how Im selling the wheels in the private market classified if anybody is interested.

Beautiful wheels..... but I'd go with a silver. I don't think that color works too well with the color of your G.

Everyone has their opinions but I must disagree with the above couple posts. The wheels listed ( GTC's ) are great and sexy wheels, but the ones you have are lightweight and not so common, so you stand out a little from the rest. It's good to be different sometimes.
