Default BMW 214's?

Was wondering what these would look like on a G8. The style is kind of holden-ish.

These replicas look like a good offset

I was actually surprised once I saw them on their own...they do look pretty good. My biggest two concerns would be weight and center caps. Otherwise, I'd be into it

Remind me of the Ford Fusion caps on their more base models. Just comes to mind as I detailed one last weekend. Although, I do think they look sharp.

Eh they're okay. Not to fond of how the center face pops out from the rim.

Here's the best I could do with my pedestrian photoshop (non) skills.

I think they would look way bigger then that. Since the edge of the design goes all the way to the lip of the rim they'll look huge- kinda like camaro rims on a G8.

It's funny because I saw an X5 with these and thought that they would look pretty sick painted black and on the G8. I agree that those wheels look monstrous in person.
