Burned at the stake or forgiven?

Hi all. Just got these installed today. Figured the GT3 is a car to have fun with and get a little wild, so that's what i did. Let me hear it; the good, the bad, and the ugly! Thanks to Ben at Wheel Boutiques for all his help.

Could go either way. Would have to see it in person. I'm all for doing something different, but you may have ventured over the line a little. I like the lip though. May look great in person.

How do you feel about them, now that they're on? Was it the look you were hoping for?

pics were taken from a camera phone and came out a little dark. To be honest with you, i am going to give them a little time to grow on me. Hope they do. What is nice is that the flat back has a grain to it, like skateboard slip resistance covering, which makes it very cool. Thanks for your comments.

Agree.

You have to take some pics from further back. It is hard to tell from the distance/angles you have taken these pics.

I believe those are 590R's because I have a set on my E60 M5 which I also got from Ben at Wheels Botique. He is a good friend and he knows the wheel business. I also have that same center coarse finish on a set of 890R's that are on my GT3. Your set up is hot !! You've done something fresh and new and I compliment you on it. I live in Miami and I hang out at Ben's shop during free time and the bunch are a great group. LOL while hanging out and contemplating future mods for the cars. Your wheels and car are ***** on.

sorry guys. Literally had the wheels put on hours ago, and in my haste and excitement, i just took some quick shots with my iphone. The pics really don't do the wheels justice. Will have some better one's up shortly. Thanks for all your comments.

To tell you the truth, I'm not feeling them. I personally like the C20 competitions better. If you have to let it grow on you, you probably have some reservation about them, at least I do. Again, wheels are so subjective from one person to the next.
