Re: Any body blue

Yes they are, I have recently changed to different wheels. These were on my dad's Buick from a couple years ago so we put them on my car to use for the drag strip for the time being.

Re: Any body blue

Blue for sure. They're even more rare now since everyone else painted theirs black or red.

Too many white ones out there already, it was the second most popular color for the 1990 model year.

Re: Any body blue

Do the orginal blue or if you want it to really pop go a cobalt blue (not a blue from a cobalt car) the color is called cobalt blue.
