What do you think of these wheels?

I'm trying to decide if I wanna get these rims for my car, and since they are pretty expensive ($700 a piece), I though I would get everyones opinion on them first. Check out the pic, which I obviously photoshopped, and lemme know what you think. (Thanks to whoevers red TII that is )

The only car that I have ever seen that looked good with those rims was a S15 Silvia in Import Tuner magazine. Enkei RPOMs for me baby!

Yo,


I'm not a fan of 3 spoke rims, but those are straight up JDM pimp daddy, so they're the only ones I can stand. *grin*

I personaly think those rims look like poop, but they are different. For that kinda money you could get a better wheel.

Ok, looks like a few of you guys don't like em. But lets see if thats cause of the crappy photoshopping, or just the wheel. Heres a real car with em on.

They do look better in that picture, but I can't see them on an FC. Maybe a FD but the FC has much firmer lines that lend more towards a multispoke wheel, or a mesh. It seems you really like these wheels and you are hoping that we will like them too. If this is the case; then I love them, and think they would look great on your car.

LOL. Thats not what I wanted. I just want an honest opinion. I just don't want the crappy photoshop job to be the reason that people don't like em. Im just trying to get the best wheels I can for my car. And I don't like mesh wheels, I think they look disgusting. Im going 5 spoke (maybe 6) at the absolute most.
Maybe some VOLK TE-37's or 5zigen 5zrs or something. But no mesh
