Black GTA wheels on a cutlass?

Does anyone have any pictures of Black GTA rims on a g-body cutlass. How do you guys think it would look?

there is a cutty in my area that has those wheels, and I do think they look good. they are basically the same wheels as what 85 Cutlass Brougham has on his car, except his are gold eneki's. personally, as i said, i do like them, but i don't have any pics.

Those look nice, but I'm not sure how they would look on a not black car. I really wish someone made a light weight version of the rally rims that our cars in say a 16 or 17 inch.

I wish I could find some mesh rims for around $150-$200 ea. that would fit my Olds. I'd love some GNX'ers but normally they're way more that what I'd want to spend when I find them.

wow, that looks great. im sold.

I will add that this style of wheel is almost impossible to keep clean. You can never get the brake dust out from all those little nooks and crannies. They are a good look for an 80's car, but a PITA to detail. Also, the tires are getting hard to find at a reasonable price. I am thinking of getting some 17's or 18's in the future instead of these because the tires are cheaper, and 3 of my 4 wheels are bent.

what size are the tires?
anything 15 and up seems common.
its hard to find a wide 14 tho for sure.

Man those Enkei's look so sick.

I really really want a set of mesh rims. They fit the body lines perfect.

I suppose if you want to play you have to pay though (*cough*custom rims*cough*) ... but I don't have the 2G's to drop right now on a set of customs.

My wheels are the same size as the GNX wheels and GTA wheels, 16x8. They take anything from a 225 to a 255 ( maybe 265) section width tire, with a aspect ratio of anywhere from 45 to 60. The widest front you can expect to fit is a 245 50 16, and they tend to rub at max compression travel. The most common size is also 245 50 16. Right now, I have smallish 225 50 16's front, and 225 60 16's rear. These are not there for a technical reason, just that I needed used tires to get the car moving, and they were all I could find.
