Not too bad, but that photoshop does them NO justice.

I personally do not like those rims. They seem too evil hehe... Those rims are best suited for Lowered pickup trucks with designs on the exterior. Heres a pic of my neighbors gf's car...

Gompka : I will post you a pic this weekend, the wheel is actually made by a subsidiary of forte called nsracing. They come in 17 and 18 inch only the model is Cyber F273. Evil, Yes Turn to the darkside luke!


They loose it on the car cause that photo chop is crap! No offense, I couldn't do it any better. On the car they look goooooooooooood.

thanks man I'd be great to actually see these on the gs not photoshoped. I'm seriously thinking about these because the price on them is so good. BTW is $600 + shipping a good price for those particular wheels?

Me too... Don't bother getting them to only have a hassle trying to sell them after you realize that they don't bring your car to a different level...
