Rims

I dont know how everyone else feels about this but I think the 99-01 aleros were blessed with a decent looking rim, everyones so quick grab a set of 17's or 18's, but I like the stock ones. I mean if they were as ugly as the G/A's then yes I would change em but I dont think they look bad at all, if they came as a 17 maybe it would be perfect, but I cant get everything I want lol. what does everyone else think?

people upgrade for looks and better handling. Me personally, I'm getting 17's because my alero is blessed to have flippin hubcaps. So yeah, 17 inchers will look WAY better than what i have now. Nothing looks better than a set of chrome or silver 17 wheels on an alero...you just cant beat it.

Sure you can beat it.... chrome 18's!

[johny_boy32]

my bad...20's would be even better...lol.

but no one likes the stock rims, trust me id be all for a set of 19's with a 2 inch drop, that would look hard, but I dont thinkk there is a dang thing wrong with the stock rims.

[johny_boy32]

there's nothing wrong with them but there is better choices out there and that look better. The stock ones are ok but there are better ones.

factory wheels are ugly!!!!!
like nick said......chrome 18`s
bling bling :thumbsup:

I think chrome is actually kind of ugly looking on Aleros most of the time. But definately 18's look sweet.

Chrome 18's do look nice, but you can can a little to much with it. Just got to make sure you get the right set of rims. Cause some just are too much chrome for the Alero.

chrome is heavy, and ive seen some ugly chrome rims on this site, if your going to go chrome, there cant be too much of it, chrome is for suv's and luxury vehicles. I like silver, and especially gunmetal. Think of how bad some 18 inch gunmetal rims with a chrome lip would look on our car. with this topic im not trying to say anything bad about bigger and blingier, all im saying is the stock ones arent bad if you go around and look at other stockers.

Come on, wheres the rich folks at that want their alero riding on 20s with spintechs? Lmao now that would be worth seeing...I agree 17s or 18s in chrome cant be beat if you pick the right design, damn I want a set of the assassyn's, too bad that would be about $1700 for rims and tires.

I like my stock 15's in the winter, with snow tires. The 17's just handle and look so much better though.

:huh?: Chrome is for SUVS? :huh?:

Hell no, chrome is for anything that looks half decent.

i was waiting for someone to say it

preach on brotha!!!!

yeah, i dont like how silver or gunmetal wheels look on our cars either. imo, gunmetal wheels look like poop.

I'm liking the hyperblack colors out now. They're shiney like chrome but not so bright looking. Very sharp, especially on black or white cars.

Chrome looks good on some cars... but its tooo daym heavvy....
Well if u wanna go fast...lol
Or have fuel economy....

I had my buddys mr7 knock off's (chrome) on my alero... took a BIG hit in the fuel department

I love the 01 and up GLS wheels.....Im happy with em, but I had to go with 18" chrome!!! too bad theyve been on backorder for quite some time..... issed:

I like silver

If you're complaining about chrome being heavy, you'd really have something to complain about if your rims were actually plated in silver. :P

IT'S POLISHED ALUMINUM.

And sometimes chrome can be too much IMO, but depends on the color of the car... and the look you're going for.

Also, the premium 16" rims that come with some aleros look great, they just need to be one size bigger. (Not the polished 16" ones that look like the stock 15" rims, I mean the other ones... you know the ones I'm talking about... somebody take a damn pic :P)
