Default Attention People.....Need your HONEST opinion...

Please be honest......what do you guys think about these wheels? I don't care if you bash....or if you like them....please let me know. Thanks......getting them for a freinds opinion.....do you think they are VIP?

MAIN QUESTION IS......" would you rock them? "

They don't look bad, but they are not VIP.

I don't think they are VIP but it looks good on a black GS... Depends if your friend is going VIP look or not.

i also don't think they are vip, more on the sporty side. but reading all the recent vip car mag and such, there are more and more people rocking this style

for me, if i want to do "true" vip, i wouldn't get these.

agreed.

the gs is curvy. it needs a more curvy spoked wheel.

i like the wheels a lot. the only problem with them is they look extremely similar to the Work wheels Heng350 is sportin' on his ride. dont get me wrong, 90% of the people here on CL would know the difference. but a lot of people will also mistake them for the same.

the problem that i see is, they look so close to that wheel that they appear to be a cheap knock off even though they probly arent! if you like em and you can get a good deal on them, buy em. if it was me, i would most likely get the Work wheels or choose something else.

i think the best rims for the GS are simple 5 spokes to make it look classy

It's a decent lookin' wheel, looks classy.

Oh and by the way, that picture is photoshopped. I did that one awhile back for fellow CL member Fujifuzz.

The original size chop can be seen here in the link below.
