new rims for my 95 GS
Last night I bought a set of rims like these in the link for my 95 GS ,right now my GS has some FUGLY Oldsmobile wheels on it and these were dirt cheap .Here's my question to all of you other than scrapping them ,what would you do to these wheels to make them look better? One thing I am going to do for sure is keep the lip silver or strip it to the metal and polish it and clear it out. Any of your thoughts would be great .ER

What color is your car? Would be able to help you with color choices for the rims.
Personally, I don't know if the lip would look too great on the 3g wheels. Maybe just a solid color like black would like nice though.

Maybe to you but look in my gallery at whats on the car now and the tires were worth what I paid for the rims .I'm telling you , I got them cheap. I'm not planning on the rims being permanent either but even in it's build up stage I can't have it looking gay .

Bro, you sure you got a full set because those headlines can be tricky, it said "One wheel rim" for $119. Just double check that and make sure because those guys may send you just one rim that's why it's cheap.
Not a big fan of 3g wheels but I would definitely rock those over the one's you have on there now. Try the black with the polished lip and see how it looks, if not then just spray them completely black.

OOOOh, ok, Nice bro. Hey I would've definitely take them too. Try them and see how it looks on the car before or if you decide to paint them.
