dont know if you noticed dude, but they're 5-stud
if you've done a 5-stud conversion, you can find much sexier wheels than that!!
that said, I think they'd look ok

youd be suprised!
whilst the 5 x 114.3 is a much more common PCD, the mags that are actually available in +8mm offset look woeful (designed for old falcons)
unless you want to dish out on mega $$, 5 stud is still a PITA - not as much as 4 stud, but still... getting anything decnt looking with a bit of dish is hard work!

hmmm not on an MA61
how about stock MA70 wheels?
or if you want cheap and easy to get some 15x8/9/10 12 sloters may look ok on an MA61... my MA45 seems to have the same shitty offset too Grrrrr

yeah, im trying to find a decent looking dished wheel that doesnt cost a fortune. and i dont like spokes...
these kinda remind me of merc wheels, and i kinda like them. there is a fair bit of dish in them, its just no obvious.
IF SOMEONE SENT ME PHOTOSHOP *insert hint for dave*... i might be able to see how theyd look

the simmons look absolutely sexy on that car.
of course, they're quite expensive (what do you expect when you get a company to make up custom 3-piece rims for you?), and pretty heavy.
still, I'll be considering them when the bank balance says yes 
of course, in the black they'd only really look good on a black car

If they were all polished up without the dodgy centrecap they probably wouldn't look too bad.

The question i ask is why dont you just choose rims that you like for your car!
Or are you building the car to please someone else other than yourself

yeah, i'd have to agree with most ppl so far
nice mags but just dont suit the image that an ma61 portrays
and those 2nd rims just dont seem right
get some simmons (i know $$$) but then u can choose offset and make em fatter wheneva u wish
