Personally not a fan.
Kind of reminds of 'Hot Wheels'

I'm an E-body purist so I prefer OEM wheels.

Years ago companies started making their larger versions of Magnum wheels...then YearOne came out with theirs and blew everybody away...the ones you posted look like older cheap crappy versions of the Magnum wheel :alan2cents:

I like those but look like only available in 20" or 22" now.

Thanks for the honest opinions. I like the style of wheel and like the one I posted better than the Magnum copies that are out there as it has the same style but not and exact copy. My concern is that it is actually looks more like the GM Rally wheel and that Mopar guys will notice and give me crap. I understand my car, my choice but don`t want something that looks obviously like a GM part on my Mopar.

  These are basically the same but don't look quite so PMD for some reason

  Bandit 304 ... I think a bit taller sidewall on the rear would improve the look  :alan2cents:

I don't really care for the Pontiac style, but it's not my car and not bought with my visa.

Like Alan said, the 17" YearOne Magnums or Rallyes look really good. Have you considered those? You won't incur so much wrath from the purists either. I have the Rallyes on my car and just love them.

If you're after a representation of the Magnum wheel, then there is no comparison in 17" to the ones offered by YearOne :alan2cents:

I`m not really after a factory looking wheel, IMO Rallyes are plain BORING and I don`t want a wheel almost everyone else has. I`m also not really after a Magnum looking wheel I just like the 5 star look - I`m after something classic but somewhat modern at the same time if that makes sense. Besides paint color choosing wheels is the toughest decision.  :looney:
