wow not really feeling those wheels, and it don't match the car at all. Personally it now looks worse than it was stock.

but good effort.

I think those Giovanna'a look pretty good on the car. Multispoked wheels look good on big sedans.

Rims too big and gives it a cheap Chinese toy car kind of look... maybe with different wheels, but these don't do it for me...

I've seen several Crown Vics and Grand Marquis with 22s that sort of stand up on their tip toes like that. I don't think that's quite the look you were seeking. Sorta like the car shrunk in the wash.

Get a good coat of wax on that thing when it warms up.

Then instead of water islands, you have water beads.
