yay or nay - bronze 17s on white sunfire (pic inside)

So my question is, what do you think on the look and will they fit.

They are these rims off ebay, 17x7, 40mm offset and will sport 205/50/17 BFGoodrich g-Force™ T/A KDW off an SRT-4:






Photoshopped to best of my ability, lol.



Thanks. Any C&C is welcome.

Not to bad, but I don't like the center of the wheels. I think bronze rims go great with white.

Seems like that guy didn't like those centers either. I'm sure you can find something to fit in the middle to clean them up.

I have a pic of his car on my computer because I loved his rims and until you pointed it out I hadn't noticed they are the same. I'm thinkin this is just about a definite now, lol.

Like that, lol. It was one of my senior pics and so it had me sitting in there lookin all goofy, lol.

Thanks to everyone for the opinions. Like I said, I'm thinkin these are going to be a for sure now that I saw that casper has the same ones. Hopefully I can get a hold of him to see how he likes them.

Welp, they're on their way.
Now I just have to get some lugs, stems, and hubcentric rings and we'll be good to go.

lol Yea thanks... I have the rims they are ICW 17's with kumo's I beleave on them. My center caps looked a lot like yours tbh but mine are 30 a piece. They are made out of aluminum and plastic. Worst part they were heavy. If you were to hit a bump or somthing of that sort they would most likely hear a PING and see somthing shinny rolling. The way they made em was plastice inside's and were the clips are that stick in the rim. then a heavy aluminum bout 3 inch high and at a slope. worst desigen ever.

I had bought them off a friend for 500 with @!#$ty tires.. and never had any issues until 3-4 years later when they started to fade and what not. They were a gunmetal color with a blue hugh. So i repainted them to about the same color as yours. I still have them, trying to sell em for 200 w/ 45% tires.

Yes I know that the car has been through a lot of phases and it got old after 4-5 years. So thats why I drive the Skittle now...

Good Luck with the rims bro.

Ya, I guess I'll just have to wait till they get here to decide what if anything imma do with the center caps. So these are prolly just an icw clone, it's all good. Darn, I wish I knew you were selling yours. Thanks for the other pics.

Thanks. Hopefully it all works out. I'm still undecided on the center caps but that'll just have to wait til they get here.

I finally got tracking numbers and they'll be here next monday. I picked up some lug nuts from a tire dealer today. Just some no name spline drive for $1 a piece. Can't complain.
