 Look wise, maybe.

Performance wise: realize that it's just a thin layer of CF over a metal base. If those were true CF wheels, they'd be about 2K each if you're lucky.

nice wheels, probably look nice cuz they have a nice sport universal look/design, other than that, like web said, be aware up close in person it's not real carbon fiber, nor does it look like real carbon fiber...look up avery carbon fiber, that's what you'll get...

^x2, i don't think he was in it for the carbon fiber, merely the style, but those are hot, wish i was willing to put money forth to get me a set of those...but like web said, a nice set would run you as much as 2000 per...

 Not even a thin layer of carbon fiber, read closely, it says "carbon fiber look finish" which means, it's nthing but a really good airbrush, or paint job. You could prob. do alot better for your $. They r gonna look good in tha pic cause that's wat tha co. pays for, I'm guessin up close they look no where near as good tho. Yet in still it's a personal decision between you n ur wallet. Good luck w/ ur decision. L8R!

Don't get them man, I seen a set just like that on a Cobalt with the same exact finish at Nopi and in my opinion they look real cheap. Like that cf vinyl u can get at your local Pep Boys. Go with straight up gunmetal and you won't think twice.

 200 dollar rims are cheap even w/o carbon fiber. I wouldn't recommend them. They probably look like crap in person.

 the fake c/f thats on those rims is the same thats on those c/f side mirrors from ebay. they look ugly. my bro has them and likes c/f so he got them but IMO it looks fake as shit. i seen a NSX yellow with yellow rims and c/f and it was just a c/f peice that screwed ino the rim looked very nice. it was at the funk master flex car show in OC
