I like it, but that doest really matter, nor does the people who say no. If you like it put it on your car.

I like the idea, maybe with a lower profile tire and tucked a bit more.

Not only does it destroy performance, but I personally like to have side walls on my tires. Otherwise, it looks like stage coach wagon wheels.

Needs more side wall and less wheel. Why not go with a stock replica wheel. 15" or get American racing wheels everone use to run on those. Satin or chrome lip and gray spokes...

Like the 105, 309 or 405 here:
