Those are going to be a bitch to clean, once that brake dust gets into those nook and cranies. Even the best of wheel cleaner and all the pressure in the world wont get it off if you let it stay on there longer a day or two. Think they would look better without that star in the middle but thats just looking here and not seeing them on a car. Any pics of cars with them on?

i like chrome, im not into the whole "lets put over sized rims with low profile tires on a car worth $500" kinda thing, i just like the shiny chrome, but like lonnie said, i bet they are a pain in the arse to clean.

rims mainly depend on the car, some rims look good online, but against the vehicle, don't go with it at all

i'd need to see them on the Alero to judge but i'm pretty sure they won't look too good lol

thanks bizarre, i dunno, i think with the right body kit and paint job, it could look pretty sweet.

I kinda like them. Not the look i am going for but if you want a flashy car, those would work.
