How do these rims look to ya'll?

I know the editing and angle are all wrong, but I was curious as to how these rims looked to you all. Something different than the ZS's or Snypers at least.

They wouldn[t look too bad, if they had a bigger tire one them... But In my opinion I wouldn't put them on my car....

How about now with a little more editing? I think they'd look pretty cool in person, but unfortunately, the only way to do that is to buy them.

The Firehawk rims are cool, and a pretty good deal from what I've seen in some magazines (SuperChevy, etc...), but I just don't like the chromed look all that much. I would probably feel differently if I saw them on my car, but from pics and stuff, the look doesn't do it for me. And I know the black ice finish is kinda chromed, but it's a dark tint.
After seeing the polished aluminum version in real picture, I think I would like the black ice finish on my car, especially with some painted calipers and nice rotors behind them.

I would say go for it I like the rims on QwkTrip, I had either planned on the black ice version 17x9 or the new firehawk rims. Either would look good.
