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.

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.
