No opinion on the wheels, but I think that unless you've driven the 'ring, you shouldn't be sporting the track.

Well than no usdm car should sport em. Acuras shouldn't have Honda emblems, lexuses shouldn't have toyota emblems. Rx-7s shouldn't have ifini badges. 240s shouldn't have silvia badges...etc. What's ur point?

My point is that IF you've DRIVEN (yes, I mean personally been to Germany, and DRIVEN) the Nurburgring, you should be proud to sport the track sticker...

just as those who have driven T-hill, Infineon, Willow Springs, Buttonwillow, Laguna Seca and other tracks.

If you HAVEN'T driven the 'ring...then why sport the sticker?

Just my .02, not meant to criticize, just expressing my opinion. I know that once I visit my in-laws in Germany, and drive their Mercedes around the 'ring a few times, then I'll feel entitled to have a 'ring sticker on my car.

Don't be thin skinned!
I like how the middle of the wheels "bulge out", but I don't care for the chrome ring and cap - I'm a fan of all black.

if you like the wheels you have on, it doesn't matter what other people think.

The wheels are fine. I think the polished lip is the part that sets it off negatively. But overall I like the look! All so the subject is the wheels not the decal.

If you are asking for opinions to help sway you towards keeping them or considering another wheel, then I say there are other wheels out there that aren't wallet raping that would make your car look better. I like silver, hyper black, gold, light grey on the WRB, I think these colors depending on the style of wheel fit better with the WRB (ie. Matte Steel Grey SVN's would look sweet). Clean car though!

But I do agree with the whole track sticker thing altough it doesnt really apply in this case.
