Vote on wheels

A guy in my class at SAIT has a 92 T/A convertible- he put on aftermarket wheels.
Hard to get a great look from the pic but you can get the idea. I think there gross and he should stick with the stock wheels. What do you think>

I think the stock ones look bad azz. Offer to buy them from him cheap, they sell for good money.

He hit a pothole pretty hard and dented a rim- so he switched back for now- but it's parked anyways
(for the winter)

My 17" aftermarket wheels with 245/45/ZR17 tires. I also use the stock 16" ones for winter driving.

Hey, do you have a pic of the car showing those rims- hard to tell how it affects the look of your car- without seeing it.

I'm also not against all aftermarket wheels- just the ones on the T/A.Vote with your gut- based on whether you like the ones he put on.

I like the deep dish wheels, but I don't like that design. I would stay with the stock ones, that is, if the stock ones were 16s.

If the choices are those two rims then I would definately go with the stock ones. But that car would prolly look really good with another set of aftermarket rims.

but if the owner likes them than thats all that really matters.

I love the 2000 chrome C5 Rims. Replicas are available for 1299.00 us but other than that, I wouldn't trade my black GTA rims (like the ones above) for any other rim.
