Welcome to the site man. Not a big fan of rims that big on an Alero, but hey to each their own and if you like it well its your car so that's all that matters.

thanks man, so does anybody know if installing gauges is difficult?

its easy to install them, its difficult to install them the proper way. it is very hard to align the lights with the gauge overlays and will take you a good 15-30minutes to do that step alone, other then that its easy.

The above link should also help give you an idea as to what its like to mess around with the gauge cluster. Hope that helps.

Welcome to the site.

You don't want the Street Glo gauges, you want Autometer.

Nicer gauge, better quality and I just got the Ultra Lite II's and damn are they easy to hook up. One plug does it all :D
