    Re: sweet looking 16" rims??

    They don't look too bad, but i see it as a downgrade seeing as they are 7.5" whereas the stockers are 8" wide.

      Those look terrible... they look like truck rims. Chrome, rivets, and too many angles on the spokes.

        those say 22lbs

        17" Zr1's, 18x9.5 C5's are both lighter than that 16"

        Regardless, they are pretty good looking rims, and yea there more unique than the typical C5's just not something i would buy

          Thats weird, I remember reading they were about 25 lbs each...none the less my tires are new from this season, and I'd have to repurchase 17's...on top of that I like to be a little different, as long as its a clean look.

          Those rims are more or less replicas off of the shelby mustangs, just now they have a GM bolt pattern available...and on a black car chrome looks good

            i think 16s are too small for our cars, but some can work.. but those you put the link for are just too blingy for my taste.

              lol...whats so blingy? there regular 5 spoked rims...there meant for muscle cars cause the original design was for the mustang shelby...actually if you look up the mustang shelby rim its the same rim...

                the design isn't that bad just the size IMO

                they are a bit blingy (the rivets are a bit large, sharp edges on spokes etc)

                  Haha...I just dont see the blingyness in a plain 5 spoke rim...I dunno...here does this make a difference? I think I still like the chrome one better...

                  as for size...I just bought new 16" tires and I dont feel like selling em, plus I still feel that 17's weigh more. I dunno, I like to see some tire on the rims thats just me though...

                  and as far as it being a downgrade since its 7.5....it still says they recomend a 245 tire on there....so I dont think you would really know that the rim is actually a little skinnier as the tire is still the same...

                    I think the blinginess comes from the rivets on that particular style of rim.. i think it would be a lot nicer looking without the rivets.

                      I thought the shelbys looked gross with them. I agree that there is too much going on those wheels, but it's your car, and your taste so have fun with it.

                        meh...Ill post pics when they are on...maybe that might change a few minds...sometimes looks can be decieving if you cant see the whole picture...before I ever saw the TT2's on a camaro I thought they would look like crap on our cars...they actually look sweet though

                          I will probably not change my mind, but I am also not a big fan of TT 2's, but again if they are what you want and what you like that is all that is important.
