Thoughts on these wheels?

Been looking for new wheels for my 87 IROCZ and ran across these.

US MAGS Bandit - U418


Here's the link to the website

This Challenger looks nice with them but how do you think they'll look on an 87 Camaro?
I personally think they look good, they look like muscle AND modern wheels in one.. I also like and want a lip







These are chrome but I'm not a big fan of all chromed out rims

I think thy look great on that challenger, they match it's color scheme perfectly and that plays a big part in how good it looks.

Someone on here should be able to photoshop it for you.

I personally think they would look good on a camaro.

Id have to see it prior to being able to have an opinon. I think the color of your car would play a huge factor in how the wheel contrasts with it. Its a very bold rim and may look to flashy, but at the same time it could compliment it very well. Photoshop it then make your decision, or just pull the trigger and give them a shot!

Yeah i agree and well my camaro is blue but the interior is gray with the dash all black(like most) and well prior to seeing these rims and that challenger I was planning on painting my camaro a semi dark gray anyways so I'm really digging these. Was looking for black rims at first but I like how these aren't all chrome and have some black ... anyone good at photoshop? lol

Re: Thoughts on these wheels?

They're gorgeous but you do realize that a forged wheel like that is easily $500+ a wheel?

I do. I was planning on just sticking with my original stock 17 inch IROC-Z wheels and just getting new tires on them and buying new ones for my Dodge Ram but I changed my mind. It was one or the other
