I also have to add (aside from "sorry for the dirty car")... Both of us were REALLY surprised at how they fit ok without any spacers on both the 3rd gen (with original rear) and the 4th gen (with original rear). Only problem with these is they're 8.5" wide, so if I ever bought a set I'd be using them for street wheels only, unless I got them widened.

Craigslist.

Nothing special, otherwise he'd be "working on that instead".

Me too. They're perfect for that car. For them to look good on my car I'd need a lot more black accents, like black roof, black mirrors, and/or black hood stripes. In all-chrome, they just look cheap, IMO.

Those look great on the third gen, clean car too. I personally love a clean well maintained and tastefully modded third gen.

I like them on both cars honestly. A very clean looking wheel goes a long way.
