Are those Montegi (sp?) rims? They look familiar. I like them better than your old ones, personally. Schawing!

Yppers!! Thats exactly what they are. I got them from Dicount Auto for 149.00

 

[cable_kid05]

Those do look more sporty than the old ones. They match the personality of your car more. Now if you would ditch those ugly wind deflectors..... :lol2: Sorry just had to say that. I have always been in love with your car, and it is a turn of to see wind deflectors breaking up the clean lines. I'll keep 3 cents and leave you the change.

That was good!!!!! I nearly wet myself after reading that. I guess it was the way you worded it

Josh......I got the 149 quote from the website and they were actually 20.00 cheaper once I got to the store. So....I actually only paid 144.99 for them.....and 99.00 each tire. He gave me a good discount for the tires since I bought the rims there. The rims and tires came to like 1058....or near that. I do like the rims though!! They do make it stand out. If I didnt have the stickers then I would have gone with a black powder coated rim.

IMHO its a downgrade, as far as looks go. I've never been into dark colored wheels though. If ya like em thats cool though.

Pretty much my same opinion. I like the before picture better but then again I perfer chrome over alloy. BUT this is only my opinion and I hope it, in no way, affect how you feel about it. If you like it then :thumb:

Oh no!!!! I dont get mad at people if they dont like them or have negative comments. Thats why I posted the pic here. I wanted to get people's opinion and see what they thought. I do like them alot and I looked at a few different styles before I bought these. Its kinda like buying a car.....you get that "feeling" inside your stomach and thats when you know those are the ones you want. I dont get offensive in any way

How did I know a comment like that was going to follow what I said. :lol2: I guess I asked for that one

 

[godspunk32]

I think they look awesome, and I typically don't like chrome rims on cars...only SUVs...

Those chromies are phat! "17" right? At first I thought they were Cobra Replicas like the ones I got off of Got Wheels. I paid $1407 for chrome with 225/40/18 feet. At least now I really have some idea of what I am dealing with asthetically when mine get here. How much did you sell them for? I like the gunmetal too. Before I came to a decision about which wheel to get, I was going to get the black full faced rims with the polished lip. (Of course they didn't have the fitment) As long as you like it rock on!!

On my way to work a couple weeks ago I happened to see 98shotoy's SHO driving down 94 East. Very nice looking car!

Are you from the Ypsilanti area? I work in Ypsilanti but live in Monroe. You must have seen me early in the morning cuz thats when I get to go hom. I am one of those "fools" that work midnights.

i see clear lenses on the rear, are those originally for the front and you have them on the back(though theyre a LITTLE to small, unless you did some rear bumper work)?

and i like both rims, the car is hot hot hot either way.

 

[5spdsho]

I'm from Taylor like 20 minutes away from Ypsi. I work at Aamco Transmissions out in Ypsi (off ellsworth). It was quite early, but when I seen your car it woke me up. idk i was kinda excited i seen another members car so like i was kinda giddy all day...lol

Yeah the clear lenses are smaller on the rear Unfortunately they do not make rear clear marker lights.....so I bought two sets of front clear marker lights and just out them on the back end. When you are u close its noticable but from a little distance its not so bad......well lets just say not bad enough to NOT put them on my car
