How do you guys think these wheels would look? (4th gen 16" directional)

Here's a picture for anyone who's not familiar with 'em. I don't think that they would look half bad. Better than the 15" painted ones on my car at the moment. Just lookin' for everyone else's thoughts/opinions on 'em.

just remember...you need spacers to mount them....which would probably cost more than the rims cost.

Woohoo! Two tone grey! I've wondered how it might look, but then got to thinking about spacers and prices and stuff. Have you had anything else ever photoshopped onto your car?

Well, I've decided that the wheels on the car aren't my favorites. I've always kindof liked these 4th gen wheels ever since my dad had a '94 with 'em. I've pretty much got it down to three possibilities (price is a concern):

1. 4th Gen. Directional: I can probably pick a set of these up for around $200 (maybe even with tires). The spacers are $300 for the whole car. TOTAL COST: $500

2. 4th Gen SS: I can get these for $1400 with tires from SLP. Still gota get spacers so... TOTAL COST: $1700

3. ROH Snyper: The wheels would cost me about $800 all the way around. Still gosta get tires, but no spacers. TOTAL COST: ~$1300

I like the look of those ROH wheels on a thirdgen. Does ROH have a website by chance that anybody knows of?

Thanks!

I got them from a friend locally.
He posted he had his wheels for sale and to make offers.
One of my friends offered $200 and I offered $225. About a month later when I was in Florida, I got this email from him saying "They are yours, where can we meet?". I had to email him back and ask "What are mine?" cuz I totally forgot.

I also have the same chrome wheels you have, got them from my brother, he got a set of OZ Monte Carlos 17x9.5 for $200 for the set. Another one of our friends needed cash bad and the OZ's weren't on his car at the time and sold em to my little brother.
These are the OZ's, they look awesome,

Well, I went ahead and got 'em. Didn't spend too much money. Once I get the spacers I'll put some pics up for anyone else who's ever considered this.

This is a picture of my ROH's just to give you some ideas. (The blur in the picture happened by accident, but kind of looked cool IMHO) I'm going to go with torque thrusts or something eventually, so I'll put these up for sale sometime. I'm voting no on the salad shooter wheels. I liked several of the other guy's wheels pictured above...just wanted to add to the lot. See ya!
