i vote no. those plastic inserts will look nice for about a year before you'll hate them.

pick a nice simple design and just get em repainted in 2 years when you're bored of them :D

Really? I just saw a TC with similar rims and they looked nice. You're saying the plastic color will fade?

I think you should buy them if you like them, but be prepared to shell out extra cash in a few months because one of those plastics got scratched (or broken) because of a curb rash.

I'm thinking no, but then again I've thought that before when people post up a wheel pic with the same question. Then they get them and when viewed on the car, opinion changes.

Plastics appear to be inset, so if some curbage manages to damage them, then you've got some real critical rash issues to address anyway.

I guess not then.. I didn't know the spokes were plastic, I thought they were spray painted metal. Have any suggestions on what would look good though? No chrome, and overdressy rims, and NO racing lightweight wheels :P
