Default another set of wheels
heres my third set of wheels in the 6 months ive had the car started of with factory chrome 5 spokes, then bought a set of off brand torque thrusts that the chrome was peeling on for $250 but recently sold them to a friend for $500, and traded my factory chrome wheels and got these plus $200. al i did was paint them. i dont think that they look to bad for a factory wheel. heres some pics. the car is nasty but has been parked for two months now.

they don't look too bad actually. what color is it though, can't tell by those pictures. Kinda messed up too you sold your old set to a "friend" for double then what you paid for 'em.

Not too bad but it looks like you're about 1 quick burnout away from being stranded on the side of the road!
