Shopping for rims centerline 2 piece aluminum
Going with 17x8 x 4-1/2 back space up front and rear
The mesh rims to me is more muscle
The solid rims to me is more sleek/sexy
Let me know what you guys think
Wish I could fit the 17x9.5 x 4-1/2 backspace for the rear but I would have to cut the rear lip to fit em

Only 2 choices?
I personally think 5 spoked style wheels look best on a Gbody but based on your selections I would say the Centerline Lazer or "mesh" style looks better and a little more different but I really think it needs more "mesh" to fill in the open area when you are upsizing.
And it not that I don't like the Centerline GN or "solid" one but it seems very dated to me and reminds me of all the other old 80's Centerline billet series wheels with that bolt on lug nut cover and might look more at home on a Regal/GN
As always it is your car so buy whatever style you like.

I think the first ones look awful and the second ones look less awful. 5 spoke wheels look the best on a G-body IMO.

I like centerline wheels, have 15" centerlines on mine. The second wheel is better imo. Also I would go with a 4 inch backspace.

I agree that the only thing that looks good on a Cutlass are SSIII similar type wheels. I have the below Centerlines in 17x8" on the silver car:

I am getting another set for the '83 Hurst in the same size. I really like them.
