Welcome to the board did your wheels come off an escalade or something. They are not the worst bling rims I've seen, but they do look out of place and in your face at the same time. Sorry thats just who I feel. But like the rest of us here we probably won't see them or you in person so what do we really matter. Its a fun car none the less. Good luck with it.

I just wanted to do something other than having vette or camaro wheels. It was hard finding a simple 5 star wheel to replace the stock 16inch non chrome OEM wheels. I would have loved to get something like chevychad. I saw "the last breed" on cardomainand think it looks sweet. I got a great deal on them and could always replace them later on.
