I have these on hold but am having a hard time making the final call. Slightly better offsets than the Spoon SW388 but not nearly as light (18.55-lbs). Do you guys think these would look sharp with my suzuka or way too SEMA for
the street? I originally wanted to go all-black but it's been done to death. I've also included a horrible paint job (no photoshop here) to gauge what they might look like on the car and to have most of ya'll rolling on the floor.
Dig my blue lugs, wing and hood, eh? Any .02 appreciated. Bear in mind, I enjoy marching to the beat of my own drum so I seek the kind of stuff most others wouldnt think twice of which is why I was drawn to these wheels in the first place. The color of the lips in the bottom is more accurate to the real color. Couldn't quite get the above photo to reproduce correctly.

Technically, SEMA stands for Specialty Equipment Market Association. These wheels are definitely..... err..... "Special". (Just trying to be nice )

I don't think that looks good as well.

looks like neon lights on your rims.... not exactly my cup of tea. I don't think those wheels belong on any car.

Russ, it's St. Patrick's Day, not April Fool's Day.
