I think it looks really good, and different from the Z-R1 rims that a lot more people have switched to. Buy'em.

I like them but only on fords. It is a repo wheel of the cobra R design.

my buddy has them on his 91 z28. they dont look too bad but would look better as a 17 or 18 instead of the 16x8 he has now.

I was thinking the 17" because I have heard bad things about the 18". by that I mean they are a 9.5" wide rim instead of the 8.5" that the 17" ones are. this normally isn't a prob. but the offset for them isn't right to fit and turn without rubbing, or so I have heard, plus tires for a 18"x 9.5" rim are waaaaay more expensive, plus prob. ride a lot harder with 18's. wheel contact has the polished 17" ones for $156 a wheel
