Default Opinions on these rims?

I've been looking around for rims for my '92 ES. I've been looking more at a somewhat traditional 5 spoke look; but came across these that I could pick up cheap. What do you think? 17x7's, I'll have to check on the offset but they came off an Infinity Q45, if that's front wheel drive (I'm not familiar with them) there's a decent chance they'd fit. I'd like as many honest opinions as I can get, as I'm really not sure whether they'd work with the car or just look like ugly crap.

Now, let's hope the picture works.

That was kinda my thought, too much chrome.

I like chrome but I think I'd prefer thinner, traditional spokes, you know what I mean? I did check into it a little more earlier and they are for RWD.

Default Matter of opinion

Selecting a set of rims is extremely difficult, soliciting everyone's opinions will prove more difficult and maybe even hurt your feelings if they poo-poo on rims that you really like. If you like the rims and they fit get'em, if you want to get them just because they are a good deal, wrong reason. Do a little more research and maybe you can find a set that are reasonably priced and suit the style you want better. It sounds like these are a good deal, but you aren't crazy about them...my thoughts don't get them another set will come along. Good Luck.

Agreed, when I thought about it a little more after I'd posted that, I decided against them, and then they wouldn't have fit anyway. I'm closer now to finding what I'm looking for.
