Wheel Opinion

What do you guys think of these wheels?



I'm not really feeling it for our boxy styling but they are priced very well. Don't know if the wheel color will go well with my grey either. What do you guys think?

I can't seem to find any decent AMG Monoblocks up here in the cold north and I think its affecting my judgement. I just want some wheels!! Not to mention the wait time on the lowering springs has been absolutely absurd

I think they look pretty good. Black with grey would be a good match.

But, remember that the time you own them will be a lot longer than the time you wait to get new wheels, so wait until you find something you're crazy about.

they look too small for the w124. You need something thicker for these 'phat' cars. But they'd look good on a Del Sol.
