Opinions on these wheels?

On a 4th gen... The real wheels don't have the split patterns






Same wheel in black...



They are different...

What color car and is the car lowered?

I think they will look like a nice pair of wheels on an F-body if they are done properly with the right size tire and drop.

My car isnt lowered at all...

The rears would be something like a 335... thinking a staggered look.

The car they would go on would either be white or pewter

I found these from a forum friend who has them on his pewter ss and they look really good.

yeah the hyperblacks would look great, but I'm just not a fan of rivets/nut heads. Would look better without them

I highly doubt those wheels come in a size larger then 10" or 10.5" and you'll need a minimum of an 11.5" wheel to safely run a 335. Goes for 17's or 18's.

I think they would look better on a T/A. The gunmetal ones look cool, but the black ones dont fly with a chrome lip that big

IMHO those wheels look good on just about anything. I've seen that style used on various types of vehicles with a !WIN! every time. Just ubg's opinion, your mileage may vary.

I like them. I think the black would look sweet on your car. What size are you looking at? Seems like the kind of wheel that would look great in a 17 or 18 but silly in a 16.

So when are you ordering them? 245's in front and 275's or 285's in back? Or go with the 10.5's at both ends and run big tires all around?

I would be doing a staggered setup...

Also, C5 front brake conversion as well crossed my mind...
