Looks like a machine finished version of the OZ opera.

i won't say those are flat out nasty, but too small of a spoke. when moving, all you see is the giant center. thanks for not calling them DuBz though!

Probably look perfect... on a Benz.

Reminds me of the Lorinser D-93 and RSK-1, or almost any of the AMG wheels. Not really my cup of tea.

Probably easy to clean, though!

True only put them on a gs they are not a real racing type rim. Looks wise.

Question Depends

It all depends if you like them and what you think of them. As you stated in your post it seems that you like them. So I say go for it, but any hesitation then I wouldn't get them. Me, I like the open spoke type of wheel, where you can see my brake calipers as you're rolling down the street. To each his own is what I always say.

Let's see a picture of the car they would go on, can anyone photoshop them on it for him? I have photoshop, but can't use it worth *****. That would give us all a better idea of what we are working with.
