would these look rice?
i think this is the right place for this, but i was browsin american racing and stumbled across these. i think they might look cool on my black camaro, but then again they look pretty tuner at the same time.

Re: would these look rice?
I think they are different at least and if you dig the look go for it its your car man. They are a little ***** but if you got the right size and stance on the car I think it could be cool.

Re: would these look rice?
black on black, slammed loud and fast. i think it would look cool in a modern way, but my car is a drag car. so i would have to switch to my slicks for the track.

Re: would these look rice?
Your car would have to be exactly right to pull off that look. I think they would look amazing with dark tint, sportlines and some big *** brakes. Otherwise, they might just look out of place....

Re: would these look rice?
agreed, i think the green is what looks tuner. but the wheel design imo looks sick. fresh jet black paint with my harwood 4in cowl, 2.5% tint with those wheels tucked into the fenders, oooh yea. but i donno, i think i might stick with the weak outlaw 2wheels and just get some new rears to fill the mini tub.
im thinking 15x10 with 7in b.s

Re: would these look rice?
I picture these being 30" on a Monte Carlo... Although, as Jenson Said, if you've got it just right, it'd look great. Wide, Slammed, Stanced just right, Black, with Green accents...=Perfect. Thread Starter

Re: would these look rice?
Strip the green, polish that area & go with black & polish and you have a good wheel.
Just ditch the green & your good to go.

Re: would these look rice?
Example car these would probably look good on (if the green was black or chrome or even candy red) is KandiedZ. Maybe photoshop these onto his car for a look?
Overall I dont like them, but its your car.
I will be getting these for my camaro 18x9.5 all around. Beefy bars but not to beefy

The black, five hole, round hubcaps that went on the specially cut finned aluminum wheels originally on the T/As.

Re: would these look rice?
I think if you REALLY have to ask that question....than yes they are
but hey everyone needs to be different, I bought Foose Nitrous wheels awhile ago because no one had them...now at the local shows I go to, there everywhere.
and I got mixed opinions on those from people here as well...but it's mine and I dig em
but go with what works for you and be happy

Re: would these look rice?
They remind me of the wheels that you see on a lot of Magnum's, Chargers, and 300's. But like everyone said, the right color or polished, right stance and size wheels and they could be pulled off.

Re: would these look rice?
Those kind of wheels might look good on a viper with green racing strips. If you do decide to get them I would suggest some sort of pin striping, ghost flames, or some other accent of that color on your car to match.

Re: would these look rice?
I think the question is simple, do you have any green on the rest of your car? it would be like me putting my black centered firehawk wheels on a purple car, it would just look "wrong".. You would be better off with a nice set of 18-19" iroc wheels.

$155.95 x 4 = $623.80 compared to $1,200.00
Dude, thats basically half the price. Hell, put some centerline stickers on the caps if it makes you feel better.
