which wheels?

i have a set of wheels that may replace my stock ones...
which ones do you guys like best?
and remember that these wheels will have center caps and lug nuts... they are just set next to my car for a general idea...

I voted for stock rims. Get them polished up and you'll love them

I just got around to seeing this thread. I voted for the new ones becuase I like that style. To be honest, I am indifferent between the 2 rims, I like them equally.


The tie breaker for me would be which ever wheel was cheaper.

I don't really like either, but if you polished up the stock ones they'd look nicer

Voted stock wheels. The "New" ones look like they belong on a Ranchero or something, but thats me. Polish em', they will look much better, as you can see.

I read it wrong and voted for the new ones

I retract my vote and I say definately keep the stock ones they are one of the best 15" rims ever made.

If those are your only two choices, I would also pick the stock ones. I polished the ones on my car and it made a big difference. 15X7 won't cut it for any serious performance applications though.





Those slotted mags are just nasty.
