Not something I would get, but don't think they look all that bad.

Not bad. If you like them they look rather light in weight and that is very good. Are they the correct offset? I like the muted color!

(I dislike the word ricey so I will not go there! As a Honda motorcycle rider I have had a lot of Harley riders refer to my great bike (48,000 miles) as a rice burner and it was always meant in a derogatory tone, so I shy away from the word completely.)

Who cares if other people like them or think if they are "ricey" or not...It's not the other people's money you will be using to buy the rims, so in the end, their opinions really mean little...Not everyone is going to like every mod you will perform to a car, just part of life...All that matters is if you will be happy with the way they look on your car...If you like them, then by all means go for it! Good luck with your decision!!

uhhh I don't get how rims can look ricey. I hate the term ricey also. The rims are not my taste, but if you like it, go for it! You didn't buy the car to please others, so why buy parts to please others??

22" on an Escalade perhaps, but I don't think that those curvy lines will suit the sharp, chisled look of our cars. I must say though, they are surely different.

I'm surprised i'm the only one to say I have to see them on a car, I would never buy wheels without seein' 'em on the car.

But I do like them!
