I don't like them much, but considering the tires are likely worth close to $400 you could always resell them.

Good for it they look nice. I myself would think about painting them or having them coated gun metal.

You will hate owning white wheels. They need to be cleaned ALL the time or they look like ****. Hancooks are completely crap tires also.

Hmmm, I'm undecided right now. I don't like the way the spokes dip in like that, but it's not so bad that I absolutely hate them.
