    They look like a knockoff of AMG wheels on Benzes, but they look nice.

    they'll either look O-K....
    or they'll look aweful.

    I can't see them looking great.

    I think your car needs some black or gunmetal tenzo DC-5's




    or some gold ADVANS

    I agree with black rims, but damn I hate chrome. And chrome doesnt go with 7g shape what so ever

    You will get what you pay for, knockoffs don't look pretty for very long. In less then a year you will have pitting and discoloration, for sure. It's your money though. Unlike other items that quality is not so important, wheels are because they are always outside and they have to endure a lot.

    To each his own, and it really depends on the color of the car.

    these will look good with your car, but i bet black wheels are coming to the end of their time. What about something more custom... color matched, but still tuner style. The first set of wheels feel more euro which is probably why most don't think they will look proper for your car.

    As far as the wheel and tire sizes, you shouldn't have any problems with fit. they are the size i've been using for a few years now. only problem is in the rear when i slam the height all the way down, but a normal drop and you'll be fine.
