it did, i thought they were ugly too but not too ugly to not get the car for 11k under sticker and full warranty
i dont have enough money saved up for rims considering what i'm shelling out for gas

hmm mismatched lug nuts or are those locking ones?
yeah they are all free of damage at the moment, $400 each you say
the real question is, will they even sell cause i would shell out of my savings right now if i knew i could move them

i dont know but i just went out and looked at the car, every wheel is like that, 4+1

18" Wheel Kit WL219 Without Tires
Your Price $1,763.16

General Motors Part #17801220
MSRP $487.14

if you can find someone to buy them that would be a nice chunk of change to put toward some more fitting of the vehicle type wheels.
For that amount you can buy some way better looking rims for the same price.

Clean dude!

My GM locks have the special keyed centers and are smooth on the outside.

You looking to buy SS rims?

looks great man, don't mind those wheels myself, those were a dealer add on!!! worth like $1800, not kidding. Gives the car a look of its own. Keep them in my opinion.

I was thinking of some sort of black 18s. Don't want any more chrome, and from what I've seen on other cars black would look sick on it.

Trying to find a set I can buy for $1000 or less without rubber, can't say I've looked that hard yet. Waiting til I actually have money to spend on it. Also putting some aside for winter tires/steelies.
