Default Wanted: Opinion on wheel option...

I found these wheels on the web {eBay} and I really like them. (I wish they has a little more of a dish/lip) I would like a wheel with a black center on the car (see below) but since its her car, we'll see... Just looking for opinions and maybe if somone has a pic of these wheels on a Crossfire.

Make sure you can order two different offsets, or as close to stock offsets as possible, otherwise you will need spacers. Stock fronts are 35 and rears are 22. Mine are within a couple of mm's, so I didn't need spacers. Good luck on your search!

Here is the same basic wheel but not in black. This wheel looks great on these cars even with no lip. These are Lorinser LM6 replicas. They are 19" / 20" staggered and were sold by a forum member a couple years ago.

But yea, they need some lip...

Sweet looking rims BLKFIN, I've seen a similiar rim, but not with the Merc symbol.

I do like the black ones SACETORNC and think they would look pretty good on the right color car, black or red, but not on many of the other colors.
