Those wheels don't mesh with the CGT...it just doesn't look "right." The customer is probably happy though.

+1

As long as the owner's happy, that's what's important. That said, if going with an HRE Carbon wheel, a CF43 (instead of CF40) and in a black finish (gloss or matte) would've looked much nicer on this CGT, IMHO...

I'll pass. I think the design of the wheels is too busy for a car with fairly simple lines. Also, the black lip of the wheel makes them look like they're 17" with 70 series tires.

Are they curbed on the rear wheel or is that a flaw in the picture?

OMG that just looks terrible....and I so wanted to like these wheels - was considering a set for my FGT - this has just killed that idea!

The back wheel doesnt even look the right size!!

EPIC FAIL!

I am glad I am not the only one that can't stand these wheels. The OEM wheels are much nicer and work better with the overall style of the car.
