I believe that on your car, yellow, they will ugly. If they made them in lets say a gunmetal...it would look much better.

See my sig pic. I like the wheels, and they have stood up well to a couple of hard seasons of track days. I have the comp H variety rather than the 5 spoke that you show.

honestly if i like the way they look on the car but not the color I will have them painted a dark, competition grey color. If I don't like them at all then I will throw them on ebay and for the price i paid for them im sure ill get my money back and then some probably and get z07 wheels in competition grey
