Sorry, I'm not feeling those. I think there are too many spokes.

I think they look good but be ready to replace some more because those motegi's are not very solid. I had an identical set of them on my mustang and even small potholes dented the rim. I purchased a total of 7 and 3 of them dented from everyday driving. Also watch for clear coat chipping after 1 seasons use.

*edit. it was a ricestang before anyone jumps me for motegi's on a stang lol.

Sorry to hear about the busted rims man. I hate Houston roads!

You could always get a drop and some spacers to make these look better.

Love the car/house haha
