Default Club Linea Barletta Wheels O

I was wondering what you guy's opinion were if I were to get some 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 Club Linea Barletta on my Black LS430. The wheels are silver w/ a polish lip. Are these wheels more VIP style? or Presidential/Executive style? Would you put them in the catagory of work, jp, wald, ame? Just wanted some opinions. Thanks!

I like it! I don't think it's VIP style more to Executive style IMO. I am not into VIPness so don't take my word for it...

Not bad, they kind of remind me of Auto Couture Supremes.

they look nice. I wouldn't worry to much about these guys talking about nice wheels for nice cars. 99% of the population (and especially the 50% who's attention you really care about) dont really know what brand wheel you have. They would not know a Wald wheel from a wheres waldo wheel. I would say those spending 8k on wheels and tires are chumps.
