Well...they look kinda like they belong on a lightweight trailer. I think that painted steel wheels come off as 'cheap.'

On a baja, or a buggy, you might just get away with it, but on a street car they just don't belong.

Just my little opinion. Don't take it to heart. You could EASILY prove me wrong! :wink:

I was actualy thinking about getting a full settup of those, 15x5 for the front and 15x8 in the back, and mount some good snow tires for the winter...

I have heard though, that anything wider than 6" will rub the fenders, since they keep the same backspacing no matter what size they are.
