I can get a crackhead deal on some Billet Specialties rims. The fronts would be 18x8 and the rears 18x9. I set these next to my Black GT at my friends shop and they looked awesome. Below is a pics, tell me what you guys think.

"Below is a pics, tell me what you guys think."
You weren't smoking crack w/ them were you??? just kidding.
If you can get a steal on them, then give them a try, and if they look like crap you can always sell them to someone else. Not my first pick, but not too ghetto.

I am personally not a big fan of the chrome look. The wheel looks good but not the finish IMO.

Like the style. Choosing chrome/polished or brushed would depend on car's color.
B) Basic rule I follow is: "Dark color car = shiny rims; lighter color car = brushed or colored rims". Check it out next time you go to a custom car show.

I think those look good, and especially if yo can get them cheap. I like the 18x9 in the back, and they seem to have a nice deep dish. I say go for them.

Those are sharp rims, not really my style but I think they really do look nice. Would have to see them on before really making an apraisal though. Some cars will look really good with a set of rims that look gawd aful on others.

If it's a good deal and you like them, go for it.

They look good to me

I would put one on the car and see what it looks like via a software program, or actually putting it on the car before the final decision.

No my name isn't Tyronne Biggums (If you don't watch Chappelle's show u won't know who I am talking about).

These rims are highly polished billet aluminum, not chrome. My friend works for Billet Specialties and is trying to get me to put these on my Stang. The company supplies rims to a lot of high end hot rods and muscle cars. I really like the look and the price is definetly right.

Similar to the 19' ADRs on my 05. I like the chrome, easy to clean. And i agree that chrome looks good on dark colors.

19' ADR Wheels
Falken rubber
Rear 285-35ZR19
Front 245-40ZR19

The best thing about having Falken tires is being able to say "nice Falken tires!"
