monte carlo wheels

what do you think of my wheels? i picked these up over the past weekend . i had steel wheels paited black with missing hub caps.
these are the late 80's monte carlo ss wheels. when i bought them they were on an 84 camaro in a junkyard . they cleaned up nice and the tires were in good shape. i got tires and wheels all for 60.00. the worst part is i dont have the centers for the wheels but seen them on ebay. the guy at the junkyard told me the guy drove the camaro in and junked it. it was garge kept for a few years before he junked it. the sad part is that the car that got junked was in better shape than mine.

They look real nice when you paint the inside and then polish the outer lips. I have the camaro version (N90) on my 79 and really like the style of the wheel.

Here are some black and silver, not my car so thank the people from nastyz28 for this one.



You can also click my sig, my 79 has green and silver. Once I repaint the car, I'm gonna sand the silver off and actually use polish

i have a set of those wheels on my 90. i think the look great!!!
i'm going to paint the centers on mine the same as the car. i use BFG P245/60-15's on mine, they seem to fill the wheel wells more and they are flush with the fenders.
