It would be interesting to see them on a car. The one thing that is a no go for me is 7.5 width. Too skinny.

I agree with bmorgan — the Lexani LX10s would be a better choice, IMHO.

Take it from me guys, if you are going to buy some aftermarket wheels and you like your free time, do not get a set with these faux bolt holes (unless they are true 2 or 3 peice like those DPEs, those are sick enough to warrant the extra time required for cleaning). My wheels have 20 bolts per rim and they are a SOB to clean. I have upgraded brakes so not too much dust, but to get in those hex head tops I have to use a toothbrush, gets the job done, but not fun

I considered it and I believe EngineerGuy did it. I think it looks alright, but with my entire car being blacked out, I prefer the silver factory wheels personally. Someone else recently painted their wheels graphite on a black car, I liked the look, but no matter how clean they are, they looked full of brake dust dirty.

BoilerUp - I love the contrast on your car, the Chrome and the black. To go black with the wheels just seems to take the "pop" out of the car. I've never understood the dark wheel craze but then again I'm an old fart. The black wheels seem to make the wheel and tire look smaller, with at least a polished rim you get some definition.
