Everyone hates on my wheels...:(

When I bought the car, I got these wheels because I saw a Blue STI with Black wheels and I was instantly in love with the look. Now wherever I post these wheels I get junk for em. I found a picture finally that shows the goodness of these wheels. What you guys think be honest!

i think the wheels by themselves are okay, but does look kind of weird on blue... but doesn't look bad enough for me to give you crap about them without you asking for my opinions...

Since my hood got crunched I am getting a carbon fiber hood and those tarmacs would compliment the hood and spoiler nicely

I've always seen wheels with silver lips/colored face as rice, unless they are old school wheels on an old car.

too glossy for me

also the nut cap should be black IMO

Everyone has their own taste, If you like 'em then rock'em...you are bigger than the people giving you S for them, who cares what they say.

Is that a real s202 wing or replica? If it's a replica where did you buy it, I am looking for one.
