They look awesome!

Thanks for the info. I got 18" wheels on my xBox (came with the car), and I really don't like forking over $$$ for low profile tires all the time I get them changed.

I'm gonna buy stock 15" steels instead, get them powdercoated gunmetal grey and do the chrome trim and lug nuts as y'all are saying.

Where do you recommend the cheapest place to get good OEM wheels?

Mate thanks all the same. Turns out I was able to pick up a set of Falken Ziex for $320 fitted and balanced (way better than the $800+ I paid at Sears a couple years ago, who I'll never go to again for anything auto).

The problem I found was that I painted my steelies, they came out incredible, but once I popped the trim ring on, the steel ridges inside the trim rims scrapes up the paint pretty bad off the inner lip of the steelie. I mean it doesn't matter because you don't see it, but paying to powdercoat I dunno if it would be worth it maybe just paint yourself.
