Simple Wheels - What do you think

Hi All,

I am not one for bling, but hate the stock 18" plastic wheels. My rims are corroded and I can't get them or keep them clean.

I was on ebay and found this simple 20" 5 spoke Charger SRT replica in chrome.

They look similar to the Startech 5 spokes, but are much cheaper. I like the simple clean design and with a Silver 300C with the T-Rex chrome grill thought the package would look sweet (almost factory... not really bling).

I would really appreciate your feedback on the following:
  • Does anyone have them on there 300 and would they be willing to post a picture so I could get a better idea of what they would look like?
  • Does anyone know if there are any issues with the wheels or supplier?

Thanks,

Maybe you could have someone do a photoshop for you to see how they look on your car first. i think they look cool but not for a 300 and too much gap that will show the brake stuff.

Sorry I’m not much help either, but I do like them as they give it an OEM feel. They hardly look simple btw…very nice. (a wagon wheel is simple)

Nice wheels but I think they would look better on a charger or Maggie IMO.

I too am thinking about putting the chromed 5-spoke charger SRT wheels on my 300. I'm at work and can't photohcop, but I would love to see any pics that you get. I think they will look good, but I love that old skool 5 spoke look. I'm curious why people think that they don't look good. Not fancy enough? I have the Brembos, so I don't mind showing caliper (and soon slotted rotors!).
