I'm not a huge fan of the style... you sure they fit and everything? It really matters how you like it... I just ordered a set of rims and I'm rather sure opinions are going to be 50/50 (I'm still a bit unsure). But it's unique and I think it's what I wanted so I put in the order.

So, go ahead and take opinions, but if you like it, go for it.

yea i really wish the 5 spokes were just flat and not indented in like that...wonder if there is a way i could fill that up...these things are getting stripped and painted anyway...and i think they will fit they are 18x9 et38 and 18x10 et48...im pretty sure those are the offsets...and i know its up to me if i like them or not i just want to see how other ppl react to them because i think they are a tad bit different...not somthing you see everyday

not feeling it, but that might just be because of the rust, i would like to see them painted though.

they look like the old version of these... which I like the look of. But something about the one's your looking at makes it feel chunky... the spokes are thick and the edges/lip/center make it feel that way as well. Might just be the angle of the pic, but it seems like there's a whole lot of wheel from the pic you provided.

I think they look good except the center. The center piece doesn't seem to flow well with the rim. Paint the spokes black if you decide to paint them.
