I have to admit, I kinda like it. Reminds me of a Hot Wheels or Matchbox car. Pretty cool.

Yeah, awful is the only word that comes to mind. Props for being different, but that's about it. I think it would look better with just about any stock wheels.

Thinks guys for your opinions. I'm just beginning my modifications to my car and the wheels I have fits into the concept of where I'm trying to go with the car. It is the Touring model and I will built it into a GT type car as oppose to the "Boy Racer" concepts.

I love the con-caved wheels. I think big lips are getting kinda "played". However, you should lower the car a little so your not sitting so high up. my .02

OP... I like the wheels...but may be a little too big in the front. 19/20 combo would look nice...but you definitely need a huge drop to make those things look decent. I would also consider painting them ALL black. Props to being different...At least they're not another set of Volk or Work Wheels!
