Wheels…keep or go?


These are the original wheels on the car. I rarely see 3rd gens still wearing them. Let me toss out a throwback bone here…you tell me…refurb and keep or get some new shoes? If so I’m open to ideas

If the car is totally stock I'd probably keep and put new tires on. If you have some mods and not after originality I'd sure go with some 17s and reasonable sized tires.

Refurbish them and then don't let anyone put wheel weights on the outside.
