Default lobster claws? yum..? 56k NO

I got a deal on some lobster claws at the local swap meet. Its a hate or love. it doesn't bother me, just the daily beater that needed tires.
(Don't mine the plate Christmas gift from the younger sister)
what do you guys think? sorry about the bad pictures!





my other wheels..

I think I like them more than the twists. Looking good.

Can you post up some straight-on side shots of the car with a normal lens?

These are 19s, right?

how can anyone hate claws? loved them since the first time i saw them. favorite wheel next to lightweights maybe.

good to know they're that light. look great on your car but would like to see some side shots too.
