Opinion on this avus wheels please!

Hi,
I may be buying these wheels and wanted some reactions. They are currently painted grey but my car is silver so either would leave as is or repaint silver. I dont love them but the cost of a new set that I like (Champion, kinesis) for 6k is killing me! Thanks
David

I think if you painted them silver, they would look good. Pics are small so can't really see them well. Do the rears have a lip?

David, do paint them silver if you decide to get these. Dont think it will look good otherwise.

Avus wheels were quite popular here a few years back. The gray paint was the standard finish. They're not bad, but not in the same league as Champion, Kinesis, Fikse, HRE, or the BBS Motorsport.
