No...those look a little too "flash" to me. A simple 5-spoke, without that weird little semi-circle at the end would be a lot better.

I'm sure if you lower your car these wheels would look very hot.

Those look better. But frankly (IMO), there are only about 5 wheel designs in the world that look good in chrome.

Most wheels that are chrome are all about the look-at-me factor, try too hard, and end up looking tacky.

I don't like most of these because they look too busy. Rivets, curved spokes, split spokes, etc.

A little too much 'bling' for my liking.
