Fox Racing is the manufacturer, the Model in their range is RS8.
I think they look aweful. Chrome is too bling against a black car. They look like something that would be added to the vehicle when it is like 10 years old. Shouts tasteless aftermarket / boy racer over and over again.

Sorry
finaly somebody with the same oppinion
chrome wheels on E60 for $70k

Agree. No to chrome.

Also the style isn't that much appealling to me...not that special...looks ordinary aftermarket.

Much too "urban" for me. Maybe on an Escalade?

As long as they're not chrome, I don't think they're that bad. A pretty good looking, cheaper alternative to the Radenergie R10s or Hartge Classics.

A friend of mine is looking for something like that. Do you know if they'll ship to the US? I've never heard of these wheels so does anyone have an idea of their quality?

Just a note, The wheels arnt actually chrome(the lip is) but a bright silver paint colour. Also my car is silver Grey. The pics are from the shops site, so not my car. I think they look a lot like Hartge Classics...

Not too crazy about the wheels, I have to agree with Ray Hull, looks like it should belong on an big old Escalade, but hey, its your choice, if you like them, go for it.

I little off topic, but a question for Mr 5er. Do you attach an image of your car in each post? You can resize it and add the image to your signature. Just a tought

I saw those wheels in a UK BMW mag. I think they look pretty good. I tried to look for those in the US. I think they are only available in the Uk. I am also always looking for a different "look" than everybody else.
Good luck with your choice.
