I tripple don't like them
1. They are chrome
2. Design does not look good to me
3. they have a face mounted design
If the rims were deep-dished, I probably would like them a lot better.

I think they'd look "not so bad" if you lowered your car.
They're not what I'd pick, but that doesn't mean they don't 'fit' you.
You're you, and your car should be an extension of you.Do you happen to have an Olds Delta 88? They may look good on one of those.

well thanks guys im glad to see everyone is open to new ideas. anyway i really thank you for replying i knew no one would like them but i do. when i get a little more dough and drop my 383 in my car im gonna get some ultralight racing rims but like i said in the future. i do like them and i just wanted to see if anyone else had the same opinion guess not but i konw where you guys are coming from too. in person i think they look better than in the pic but that wont change your minds!
someytimes i wish they were deeper mounted as well then there are times when i like the look of the front mounted rims..........i guess the ghetto bling bling goes good with my system in the back!

I don't think they look so bad. Yeah, flashy chrome isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the car looks pretty good. Just put some Sportlines on that bad boy, with rims like that, you gotta be low.
i think they look fine in the first picture....the second one is another story...reminds me of those windmills back in the day. 
what offset are those rims? who's adapters did you use or did they bolt right up?

I dislike center caps. They tend to fly off racing imports.
I don't think the design goes good with the car, but chrome is way to go. *bling bling

Wow...after reading through some old posts I've realized how much I've matured and how much I've learned in 3 years.
The rims are ugly, lets face it but everyone was respectable! I never really liked them but couldn't return them so made myself accept them. They are still on the car but it hasn't ran in quite some time, new tires and I can get my new wheels on.

too much bling looks extremely cheap...its not about being "open" to "different"/"unique" ideas or parts...its about what looks good...those wheels wouldnt look good on any car i could possibly think of...end of story

I don't like them, however it is your car and you will probaly go thru a couple of rims/tire combination before you find the ones that you really like.
Good luck.

that's definitely the factory 1992 Z28 wing...
