Thoughts on Ridler 695's for SS?

What's your thoughts on these wheels? Although I love them on most cars, I think there is just something off with the Torq Thrust M on a 5th gen. Something tells me these might bring the nastiness that's missing from that style of wheel on our cars. What are your thoughts of the flat black going on a lowered IOM SS?Name:  Ridler%2020x10%20+38%20Black.jpg

I agree w/ the OP...I like that style of wheel, but there's something about them on the 5th gen that hasn't blown me away yet, I think the spokes are a little too rounded or curved looking. Maybe the deep-dish look of these will look better then the others (deeper looking then the Foose versions)...would like to see some pix of them on a camaro.

Same here, would love to see pic of these, little deeper dish would look better. Considering the Coys C5 also.

I agree with all your opinions. The spokes on the Torq Thrusts are too round and curve out and back in too much. I think these having a deeper dish might make for a more aggressive look that I'm going for. I like the look of Foose Legends off the car but on the car there is something about the spoke that is goofy to me. Not aggressive enough. Wish they made the Nitrous for the SS. Would love to see pics of these on a Camaro. Too bad we'll probably never see them.

I think also if they had a concave look to them, that would work better.

Well, I am torn between the Ridlers and Coys. If I go with the Ridlers, I will definitely post up pics for ya. Then slap the 275s on the front, and 315s on the rear, should look tight.

Yeah really close. I had 338's on my Charger R/T. These and the 338's spokes aren't quite as round and a little bit thinner than the Torq Thrusts. That's why I like these and 338's better. Too bad 338's don't fit the SS's. These do though.

I would like to see pics of both. The Coys look really good too. What kind of finish are you thinking of?
