LOL! I like how the neighborhood looks like it was cleaned up too from picture to picture. First picture, ghetto rims, trash all over the yard across the street, pimpin G-rida truck in the next yard... The second pic, cleaner rims, the trashy yard isn't shown, and the pimp truck is gone. Heck, the lawn even looks greener/cleaner.

Nice choice in ditching the rims man!

I also like how it looks like everything around is cleaned up as well as the car with those wheels, makes it look like hes moved out of the ghetto kinda. Whats up with the centers I think you really need to put a set on to finish the look off.

I think they look better... but the s10s are still not very eye pleasing.
you should look for some used iroc ones or some 91-92 z wheels.
other than that.... not too shabby of a ride.

I was going to get some S10 rims but those that came on the Higher end S10 packages, I think the S10 Xtreme as well. They were those that looked like IROC rims but had slots on them. Those look pretty smooth. I settled on C5 rims though.. they just looked better
