Default New rims?

What do you guys think of the new rims, do they suit the car?

this was just after installation, and the other one was from before. I waxed the car since however it got dirty within a few days....crappy canadian roads and than the potholes too. Yes the bumpers need to be painted...i know.

Honesly,,,not feeling it. The wheels do nothing to compliment the car and the "murdered out" tails, front corners and turn signals really throw i off for me. This is just my opinion tho,,bottom line is thisis your car and f you like it,, rock it.

i like them, but they would look way better if the car was lowered a few inches to kill that gap.

off topic of the wheels i think if you take that smoke from the headlight alone it would look better. i like how the gold with the black work in the back and on the corners but not so much on the headlights.

Kuziwk,
Not sure why you're getting bashed quite so much. I know you asked for opinions. I like them. They DO quite a lot to help the looks of your car. I wished I had something besides stock rims on mine. I'll not offer my opinion on your blacked out lights since that wasn't what you asked for.LOL
I say be proud of what you got and drive it!!! Safe Journeys

lol whatever I knew chrome would look trashy on a gold vehicle so I went with these. I only payed 460 for the set used...must be nice to spend 3000 on new rims. I really wanted sc430 wheels or some deep dish powdercoated but they are impossibe to find. next year im getting thicker tires to filll the fender gap, lowering is out of the question in canada. how much is a lowering kit anyways?
