So my bro might be selling his car giving me the opportunity to buy his wheels off him... what do you guys think?? my main concern would be the chrome not matching anything else on the car...

those r god awful. chrome = no. buy an escalade if u want chrome. stick to stockers and do a red stripe...it looks ****. or powder coat em black with red lip/red accents in between the rims. thats sick too.

yes, they work just fine. hmmm... 5 spoke, very similar shape. so what's different, the color and the spokes are a little thinner? yea, i'd say that makes it pretty close to stock.

I love the dark look of the stockers on your car........I personally don't like chrome all that much.
