Cool Do CL members like these wheels???



Was just wondering if these pinnacle P38 wheels would look good on my black 06 gs 300? I know everyone here appears to like Vossens but i would really prefer to not max my card out!! Does anyone actually have these on their ride?? I checked forums and could find nothing.

Do they appear quality enough??

The price is right for a quick cash transaction.

I believe this wheel has about a 2 inch lip as shown.

You'll likely find that not many here on CL will like those. But, it doesn't matter what others like. It's about what YOU like. If you like em, go for it!

^ +1. not a fan, but as mentioned, it's all about what you like as you will be the one looking at it all day.
Naptownfireman? you're in annapolis?

also, keep in mind that you get what you pay for to a certain extent. vossen's are popluar for a reason. check the wheel and tire thread here, and you may find some good deals on something you like, priced the way you like. hell, i have a set i'll sell you for 1k. GL, and let the mods begin!

I live in indianapolis indiana. Too bad not close enough to see what you have for 1K.
Do you guys think too much chrome or just too busy. Keep in mind there is another rim right behind that one so it may appear a little busy.

imo too busy and too much chrome. im not really a fan of chrome rims. the wheels have too many spokes for my taste and the center cap area is just one big chrome looking plate. as others have said, if you like them, go for them. you only have to satisify you and no one else.

Those Lorenzos are a little bit better but still not my cup of tea. As far as the 1st set, there is nothing else worth saying that hasn't already been said.

Have you looked into Work, SSR, TSW, Enkei, 5zigen, Weds Sports, AME, OZ, etc? Some of these wheels can be around the $2K range if you find a used set or buy new depending the wheel.

Either way, do what you like and good luck!

if I'm being impartial, chrome wheels will look good on a dark colored car but that wheel as others have stated is way too busy. Now I'm not a fan of all chrome wheels (imo) to much maintenance. Your second selection is better. Ultimately it comes down to what you like. If interested I have my old set for sale (I posted in wheel classified). Here is the picture of them. PM me if you are.
