Default New Shoes

Yeah, so they are just chrome SS 10 spokes, but since they didn't make any BPM SS's, that means you couldn't get these wheels on my car. I put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on them. Oh and I do now have the bowtie centercaps instead of the SS ones.

That color was available in 97 and 98 I think both years combined totaled to about 1100 cars in that color.
Mine is actually the first one I saw in that color. I honestly didn't think it was a stock color. I had only seen Dark purple metallic up to that point. Did my research and decided I had to have it. There's a 97 in my area that I had never seen before I got my car. Oh and there's a little S10 Blazer running around town that's bpm too.

Looks good. I think the ten spokes look alot better in chrome than painted and they really stand out on a purple car.

Thanks! I was thinking of going with black TTII's with the chrome lip but I just couldn't get over how well my stock chrome wheels made the whole car pop so I decided to stay with chrome.

I think you made a good choice. The black TTII's would look okay also but the chrome makes more of a statement.

The 10 spoke is definitely the right choice.

Thanks guys...

As for turning it into a SS.... Not my style. Plans are to eventually get an Ultra Z hood and maybe a SS spolier. Not a priority right now as it's my dd...
