Don't really care, it's an opinion... A lot of people on these forums like basic looking wheels but I have seen the same basic set of no lip, concave plastic looking wheels on exotic after exotic... There is no detail and it has become boring... Its cool that they they are light but it would be nice to see the difference in performance just from a set of wheels...

Not to mention his fitment sucks.

Its the photo if it was shot with a real camera or at a different angle it would be a different outcome here....

I think it fits the SLR nice....

Being visually interesting is different than being grotesque and overdone. Those wheels distract your eyes from the car itself. They should compliment it instead.

I prefer a good mix of traditional wheel design mixed with modern trendy attributes like heavy concavity and a deep lip. Google 360Forged to see what should be going on an SLR (imo).

I like these wheels more on the SLR than the other vehicles I've seen them on.

I apologize if I misread but...wheels are unsprung weight and reducing 1lb of unsprung weight can be equivalent to up to 6lbs of sprung weight. Reduce your wheels weight by 5lbs a piece and you could save an equivalent of 120lbs. Not to mention improvements in braking, acceleration, and steering feel (as unoticable as they maybe).

Serious? ADV wheels FTW. You homie's ride needs to be lowered first. His car looks like it came out from a rap video.

Haha.. Ok when you buy a SLR u can lower it... I have seen ghetto cars but this SLR is flashy..

I find it funny that you are saying his car came out of a rap video.. When u are calling someone a "homie"...
