What do you think about these Wheels?

Check out these wheels, I almost bought them today.....I think they would look great on my car, How about some opinions?

I would have to get rid of those centercaps though? Hopefully they are just adhesive backed emblems that can be removed?

Here is the picture:

Those would be interesting to see on an F-Body... I'd have to see it. BMW cars do have the same bolt pattern as F-Bodies... don't know about their SUVs though.

Based on the research I did, these wheels are 18x8.5 with a 5x120.6mm bolt pattern and an offset of 48mm.....I would think that they would be just about perfect. I am a little concerned about the weight of them compared to my Salad Shooters. For $500.00 for the set, I probably should have bought them.

Any more thoughts/opinions?

Maybe this picture will give you a better idea of what they look like. What is it that you do not like about them....Just curious if there was a specific aspect of them or what?

Thanks for your opinions....

I don't see it...
Those wheels are fat!
As in...the spokes are too dang big! Not as in P.H.A.T. or whatever...
I don't like...just my $.02

Even though your Photoshop isn't that good of them (self-admitted), I can tell that I still do not like them on it.

If you want that look but with a wheel that was designedfor a f-body, get a set of the old firebird wheels, well, i guess they were only 16x8 but they look sportier, but yeah if you got rid of the BMW logo those would look good on an f-body.

If there 500 thats a great deal but obviously as you said change out the center caps .dont forget to post pics if you get them
