...I really like these too... opinions?

I couldn't pass them up, even though I don't need them. Stern ST-1 Face III Beast, I paid $400 for the wheels, brand new. I had the tires sitting around.

The only thing that worries me is the offset. They stick out a little further than the OEM's. I'm gonna mount the GoPro on the fender and see just how close it is getting to chrewing up the new tires.

Maybe I'll keep em, maybe I won't. Maybe I'll put them on Shannon's car?

I like them a lot for sure, put at least one on the car though before you make any final decision as they may or may not work with the color.

I think they would gp better on Shannon's car since it's darker... I'd keep the chrome on the GXP, since white is a hit with chrome. Not a bad deal though.

Shannon's car isn't darker, its Light Bronzemist Metallic, as this one is Dark Bronzemist metallic.

I'm not getting rid of the chrome GXP's, absolutely not.

I don't like them to be honest.

What is important is that you like them.

Maybe on a Vette, 4th gen Camaro, Lambo, Ferrari, etc.

Not in my taste on a Bonneville. I really think GM did a good job with the stock rims that were avail on the Bonneville.

Not sure how I like them on that car, but a cars color can totally make the wheels. That said, how would they look on the GXP, or maybe even the blue car?
I'm thinking those would probably go best on white, black or silver cars.

I'd def put a set of those on my GTP if I could find a set at a reasonable price in 18".

I am not feeling them either, but it is your car after all.

Not a fan of skinny-spoked wheels on our cars.

Is that driver's side rear wheel rotating in the wrong direction? :P

The offset is all wrong. Nice looking wheel but not the right fit on a bonneville.

I think your chrome GXP's are the best wheel I've ever seen on our cars.

....but I really don't care for these at all. I disagree with the post above regarding the lip. I think our cars look great with a flush face.

I concur with the dissenting opinions. These cars need a large spoke, or a LOT of little spokes, as they have a fairly large visual mass. Not a fan of these at all, for all the previous reasons.

Here's how I feel about them: I'd maybe run them in the winter on snows.

They'd absolutely kill the GXP.

I agree with everyone else, nice rims but do not like them on a bonneville.

Chromed GXPs are by far my favorite on our cars. I guess the look a like GXPs (in a 18") I like as well but nobody seems to make these anymore in our bolt pattern and offset.
