I bought some used rims in very good condition they are ARE 15" x 8" with 4" BS they have a multi lug pattern and one is 4-3/4".
I like ARE and they are well made with just some cracking in the clearcoat on the spokes but even though I am more of a five spoke style guy
I couldn't pass these up for $150 for the set and has the original locking covers with a special tool.
My buddy told me he thinks they would look good on the right car meaning I don't think they will look good on a gbody.
And depending on the color of my next project I thought I might paint the spokes possibly black or charcoal.
Just wondering what everyone else thought, if I change my mind I could just detail them and resell them.

I think they'd look good on your car. But I'm kinda obsessed with that style of wheel.

These are what I want for my wagon.

These will be for a future gbody project which will either be a Regal or Cutlass and not for my Monte,
I have a similar style on my Lincoln and they look really good on there but are 17" rims.
 
I dont see them looking good on a gbody. Especially only being 15" wheels. I have seen that style wheel in 17s or 18s with the center painted black on a GN and it looked great!
 
I would like some more opinions on these and like I said these will be going on either a Regal or Cutlass.
 
They have paint out now that looks chrome but is in different colors, i think these would be nice rims for that look, typical chrome five spoke don't really look that good with the color chrome.
 
150 bucks, I'da been all over it. Some 245/60's and they'd look tuff on a g-body.
 
If they were bigger than 15's yes they would look good almost like a CCW type wheel. But being that small it's gonna come off looking cheap.

But for $150 that isn't so bad you won't be scared to ruin an expensive set of wheels painting or powdercoating these
 
I also wanted to state since it might not be obvious in the pictures but these are not a steel rims they are an all aluminum rim that are polished and have machined spokes and then clear coated and they also only weigh 15 lbs which compared to the same size Weld Draglites which are 13 lbs makes them a relatively light for a street rim.
 
Makes it an even better deal!
