How Do These Wheels Look?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43958


My buddy has a set of these that he had on his blazer for an hour, and didnt' like them, so he took them off...he's gonna sell them for 400 bucks without tires.....do you guys think they would look sweet on a camaro or what? Its either buy these or roll with stock iroc's all summer...what do you guys think? they are 18x8's also...

Only $400, but add to that the $300 you would need for the 2" adapters to get them to fit on your car.

yea I realize that, but I would be getting a 4th gen rear instead of getting my eaton posi unit, so then i'd just need spacers for the front, which you can get for like 70 bucks or cheaper used....but then i gotta cough up money for tires too...i guess i'll just stick with the IROCs...

I think those rims look pretty sweet. A lot better than stock IROCs, IMO. I think your car would get a lot more looks with those rims than it will with the stockers.

Meh. They look too blingin' for my taste. They wont give you much in the way of performance and they're just asking to get stolen.

It will definitely get more looks. But probably not in a good way...
