Default What do you guys think of these wheels?

These are ccw what would they look like on a black SC3 with '97 body style? Would they look too aggressive?

I borrow these images from CCW website*











Someone with photoshop skills please put them on a '97 black SC3 for me :P

i think what you're looking for would be better answered in the photoshop forum. you'll probably get more help there. as for the wheels, they don't look too bad IMO.

They would look good if the centers were more gloss back then flat.

on a black SC? that'll look nice. I'm sure you've seen SW's 97 SC300 on CCW's website.

Personally, I'd go with a polished finish (or gunmetal at the very least) the problem with black rims is that to the untrained eye, they look like steelies at speed :-)

i think it is the chrome in the pics that sets it apart. normally i don't like black wheels on a black car (makes the wheels look like they disappeared)

yeah i am a big fan of the black wheels with the chrome or polished silver rim on a black car... i agree with you on the "all black rim" looking like the wheels have dissapeared.

My thoughts exactly. I say find another set of wheels you like, since you're asking for opinions that is. There are just better looking wheels out there IMO and for less money. These may look "okay" when the car is parked but while driving I think they'd look cheesy...it's like when I see a car with aftermarket wheels and I think to myself, "you should have left the stock wheels on there instead"...that's the feeling these wheels give me. But hey, if you like it then go for it. Problem with these wheels is that no matter how big you get them they'll still look small due to the lip and color combo. Just my 0.02 cents.
