What do you guys think of these...

Ok, these are the wheels I wanna put on my pure silver S. Since no one has them, I'd like ALL of your opinions on how these would look on my car.

Thanks again

Chris

I like it a lot. My first choice was pure silver and I was planning on going with similar wheels. I opted for Dark Silver at the last moment and still have dark wheels.

They look good, but you should lower your car. Now THAT would look GREAT

My street wheels are Hamman 17/8 which I had black chrome powdercoated and the lipp polished. I got them from Wheel Power in Orange County Ca.My track wheels are Ro-Ja LT-5 i17/7 in gunmetal.

Check over on the suspension forum - there are tons of options with regard to lowering your car. Bottom line is it gets rid of the gap between the tire and the fender, and will at least cost a few hundred dollars. Well, that's not really the bottom line since there's tons of other stuff to consider.

Nice choice on the wheels, can't wait to see them in person
