Thanks guys, I appreciate the honesty, keep it coming. Is it the chrome you don't like or the 5 star look? I liked these because IMO it gave it an AMG look, i think the rims kinda remind me of them.

I'm not feeling the wheels, but the car still looks good. That camera isn't doing your car any justice.

I like chrome but not with lot's of lines and intricate patterns. That makes them kinda ghetto in my opinion. Smooth surface chrome face works well.
5 stars are the best and will never get stale.

Looks like the design is stuck in the 80s. Modern wheels have cleaner lines.

I think the car looks good. The issue with the wheels imho is the simplicity. I did the same thing with my first set of wheels on my G35. I wanted to get a 5 spoke wheel to match the original design of the stock wheel but bigger. In the end I always felt like they looked cool but could be nicer. After about 5 sets of wheels what I realized is that I like spokes. I like the wheel to have some detail and I like chrome.

I thought about those briefly. They didn't quite have the look I was going for, but I like the 5 star style.

looks like it would be more appropriate for a mustang.
