WTF? Why put "Opinions wanted" on the thread title, if you really mean...

"Hey, look at what I did, please give me compliments only".

2nd Time this week...

Atleast this guy doesn't get all butt-hurt over a hack job lol

But yeah, the wheels do look good, I've just always been a fan of shiny things, I cant help it lol.

Wow DF, that other thread's author is ridiculous. Can't take constructive criticism to save his life. And I am along the lines of the black accents as well Touring, it does add to the car.

IMHO, it looks like something else (I rather not say or I may get a warning LOL)....I like the car as it is somewhat looks very original but the rattle can chrome spray killed it.

I have never liked the plus wheels without the black accents, but weirdly, I REALLY like yours. I don't know, something about the satiny silver you picked along with the raised white letter tires, makes it awesome.

It looks like for the amount of time and money spent, it couldn't look better. It looks great. I've seen quick inexpensive wheel jobs look TONS worse. I think to look top notch, it will take you MANY hours of prep work. stripping etc
