Hey, I just got a NBM Formula and have been debating which rims to get. I have those rims on my SS and never thought it would look so good. Do you have any more picture of the rims on the car? Thanks!

Alex is correct in that they are totally swappable.

Nice photos, but I don't like those wheels on a Pontiac. Maybe if they were chrome it would help.
