Nice price, ugly rims. Maybe if you had a white alero.... I mean you cant beat the price though, I paid that much for each one of mine :(

[El Pablo]

depends on color of the car. nice wheels though.

[pimpalero2003]

not my style but they would look good on the right color car

ya but your rims suck.

those rims in that auction arent bad........ you could get much uglier rims (see djskunks). but anyways it says that 3 of the tires are also bad too. so 250+60 shipping+atleast $175 for 3 new tires is $480 so you most likely will be sinking $500 into rims that are descent...... but have a good amount of curb rash and scrates on them.

i think you should wait for a better deal to come around

[djskunkdiesel]

Man I show up with some 20's and the haters come out of the woodworks! where are your rims little guy? All I was doing was giving my honest opinion!

[SweetNLow]

these are my rims "little guy". tasteful....... not big ugly 20's on a stock suspension. oh by the way im "rollin on bags yo"

Now im gonna be the bigger man and say nice car and nice rims. No reason to hate on someone you dont know. Besides we have different taste down here in Texas you dont have to like it.

[SweetNLow]

you just have no style.

this dude if from dallas........ there is no southern style. there is good style and bad style its as simple as that.

[djskunkdiesel]

your entitled to your own opinion, no reason to talk down on someone

[ppgnut]

I've been sniffing too much paint, disregard anything I ever say.

[pimpalero2003]

ok for one sweet can be a dick i like the big rims but skunk i would have to say that those rims would look better on a suv they just dont look right on a hoe and sweet now that you got the new paint and everything have you thought about getting different rims

[djskunkdiesel]

THing is I bought these rims when I had a big Park Evenue, then I wrecked it and got the alero and decided to go ahead and cram them on there. But if I would have bought new rims now, I might have gone with some different ones.

[djskunkdiesel]

Beside this is a SLAB, not a tuner, different style alltogether. I like the fact that my car is like 9 inches off the ground lol.

[pimpalero2003]

your style not mine what tires are you ronning there

[troyertrain]

wow, rims are a touchy subject around here. anyway, yeah my car is white, but in the auction he said he powdercoated them silver, so i imagine they look butt ugly right now. but if the price is right i may hop on them...

[Thrawn]

Hey troyertrain, what color is your car? That would help determine if those would look good or not. The price is a steal, assuming nothing is wrong with them that pic could be hiding something...

One last thing...17's usually still look kind of small on the alero and I would definately suggest looking for some 18's, but of course, that price again is hard to pass up :P

wtf is a SLAB? Is that similar to a DONK? Do you have aspirations of being featured on www.eastcoastryders.com
is this more your style?

Ugh. /\

[violentrapture]

slab = slow, loud and bangin... southern thing that usually means a car is completely tricked out or whatnot.

however, the only thing i see on there are 20s on stock susp. like brent said.

Definitely nowhere near slab worthy.

*slap*

I agree with sweet. It does say that three of the four tires are bad. Sure, its a good price for 17's alone, but those are not exactly my favorite wheels. As for Djskunk...im from texas too. That is actually common in texas, amongst other states, but like u and other guys have said...everyone has their own style. I personally am not a fan of the whole raising the car jsut to put wheels on it. Cars aren't meant to look like 4x4's. I do like the wheels on violentrapture's car. Those are more my style. by tha way sweet, thats a hot ride u got. Keep up the good work.
