Default Chrome V6 wheel

Anybody have this on their car? If so, can you please post a picture. I think it looks great compared to stock, but I want to compare how it looks with other wheels on the car.

I've never been a fan of chrome wheels, but I haven't seen these at all. The only chrome ones I've seen are the pony package ones.

I found these on Ebay with a wheel exchange program. I like the stock wheels, and the chrome look awesome, but without seeing them on the car......who knows. I may give them a shot in May or so if I don't find anything else.

What those are, are stock wheels with aftermarket chrome. I recommend you be careful because they might not look that pretty after a couple years. That is why they want your wheels. You are basically getting someone else's OEM stock wheels they chromed up. Additionally, they are the 17x7 wheels, so if you are wanting to upsize, you should look at their other options.

Tire rack has a nice selection of wheels and tires for a good price, it was cheaper for me to get a wheel / tire pack from them for my Caddy, than for just tires, they mounted, balanced, shipped to front door 900.00 and all I did was put on,

I was going to say I've seen decent tire and wheel combos for just a little more than what they are charging.

I have been to tire rack many times to look, but honestly, I really don't know what I am looking for. If I find one I like, I am confused on offset and what will fit on the car. I have seen some kool looking ones on the forums, and have sent a request to someone about the size they have, but haven't heard back yet.

I haven't changed wheels on a car since the late 80's. It wasn't complicated then like it is today.....probably not complicated now really, i just don't know yet.
