For the Alero I bought some 16 inch Konig rims and low pro tires and I bought some Caliper paint to help out the apperance a little bit, and after I get all this stuff shipped to my house (should be here but tues or weds.) im going to order red wire looms from the internet because Auto parts and auto zone do not carry any color other than black.

I will post pics when they are all installed.


HAVE A NICE DAY

I went with 16's because I didnt know I was gonna be getting new tires, but they were new and cheap so I bought them.

you should have went with at least 17's. You'll regret then when you get them on.

I have to agree with these guys on this one. I was in the same boat...the onlly difference is that when I picked out the rims i wanted, they were only offered in 16". I love them and they look good, but there are times when I wish they were bigger. But with the potholes around here, it probably wouldn't be worth it for me to go bigger.

You can see why I bought Caliper Paint.

I plan on getting 17's for my Alero hopefully over the summer. It's your car, if you like 16's, it's your choice! I kinda like the style you ordered. They look way better than stock! Post pics when you get them on!
