I like the wheels but not on your car. It would look better if your ride was lower and if your car's paint was a 00 em1 blue color.

Yeh the paint is flawless....and the lip is polished too. Really, the 80's? Damn and i slappped them onto a late 90's car. They don't look that bad to me seriously. I agree with having to lower the car to give it more of an edge, but of course that cant happen yet . Anyways keep the comments coming


One day...maybe a powder coat

Defiantely lower your car as soon as you can swing it... it would look 100000x better with a drop and a lip.

That is one of the nastiest looking rims I have ever seen.
