I think they look good but you need to post more photos so we can see them from different angles and distances.

They look very nice! I like chrome wheels. Be prepared for comments from the "boy racers" who only seem to like the black or grey-painted (no chrome) wheel look. -Clark

I think some red calipers would help show them off even more. JMO.
