These wheels could look great with coloured calipers. Anyway, there are much too wide.

Nice to be able to take them back. If I was the shop owner I would be embarrassed to have sold those to you. There is a question if those are even safe right now.

Properly fitted those are going to look nice though. Post pics of the final look!!

thanks to all who responded
Wheels went back today. I liked the style, but the safety issue, and the thought of chipping my paint hurt more than I liked the style. So it is back to the drawing board.

thanks to all who commented. From the Brutally Honest to the Honestly Brutal!

Good deal that you could take them back - they were not right
question is what are you going to replace with?

Get some fat rubber molding from JC Whitney to extend over the tire. And some curb feelers. That will look IROC-sweet. Or take them back. Your call.
