I like them, design-wise. Wish they had some chrome inserts maybe. Still cool none the less though.

(Just googled these rims, they do come in chrome. I've been looking for some nice black/chrome rims)

Kinda gay to me. Sorry. I asked my daughter about getting black rims with the red strip on the rim and she said only skinny white boy ricers would have those. Course if you're moving to Vegas and they'd probably fit right in.

I think that if the red were color matched to the car it would look fabulous. If the red bands were slightly wider, even more so.

Since you asked...

Yikes. Don't like black wheels anyway and it looks like some round puzzle.

In fact, I don't care much for most aftermarket wheels these days. Many are way too large and they look like wagon wheels. Just silly and ridiculous, especially on trucks.

Even when in proportion to the car, most of these thin spoked wheeled just look odd and out of place. The thin sided tires make it look even sillier. I like more sidewall of the tire showing.

Not enough surface area, too, the spokes are too thin, too many of them. The eye just goes right past the body of the car and drawn to the wheels.

I just think too many wheels stand out so it makes the look of the car unbalanced. I like moderation. Subtle but stated.

But I'm rambling...cause I'm a ramblin' guy! R A M B L I N, apostrophe, oh ramblin'... A little Steve Martin. Uh, anyway...

I'd prefer something different but it is your car.

I just got the stocker alloys on my SL.

Just one man's opinion. Carry on.

What? So I'm the only one who likes these rims? Does that make me a "skinny white ricer"? Huh, and for almost 20 years I've been going by the guise of being a rather large Mexican, who occasionally rices. I still like them, and you all can just eat dirt.

I didn't say I didn't like them. I just said they look cartoony---like "WHAM!" or "KA-POW" ought to be flying off of them.

And maybe your superhero identity is "Skinny White Ricer". You got to admit--"Rather Large Mexican" would be an excellent secret identity.

Whoever photoshops those white rims onto the car should make the yellow circle into a happy face while they're at it.....
