Default what do you guys think of these rims ??

They are 17's with 255/45/17 pilot alpin. Off of a 330i. The price is right, but I'm not sure about the look. Don't want to look rice. You understand !!

I kinda like them too. The spokes are a little wide and flat and I don't usually like wheels with lug covers, but they still look pretty good. If the price is right and you like them then get them.

Yeah, I'm not usually keen on the lug covers either, but they remind me of BBS rims. They have NO curb rash at all, but the clear coat is a bit screwed up on all 4 rims.

Keep the feedback coming !!

They're not bad at all. They got the BBS look.

I bet they would look so much better if you ran them without the lug covers.

This may be a silly question, but does it do any harm having no center caps? I'm thinking excess brake dust or anything like that? I just got a set of OEM rims, but they are missing all four center caps.
