My 83' Monte with discontinued Centerline Convo Telstars with 15 x 9.5 and 15 x 4 rims.
I had them special ordered with shank lug nut conversion instead of acorn style.

My 86' Regal project with 17 x 8.5 JNC Mesh wheels that came with silver centers that I painted black and then added Buick tri shield emblems to the center caps.

87 Cutlass Supreme with American Racing VN501'S. Rocking 17x7 on the front with a 225/50/ZR17 and 17x8 rear with a 255/45/ZR17. Then used black lugnuts to make the wheels slicker, and had custom rocket emblem decals made for the center caps.
IMO wheels are the biggest and toughest choice to make behind paint color (that's if a car is getting painted)! So many people overlook the importance of the correct wheel it just blows my mind! No joke, I spent over a year narrowing down choices to stay in budget. If money wasn't an issue, I wouldn't have hesitated for some CCW's, or maybe forgeline or had FOOSE spec something.
I used to like that look back in the day but never bought them because I had always thought that an open wheel would better vent the brakes for my aggressive driving.
Totally not the direction you're going, but here are my modified S10 Xtreme wheels on a crew cab
It's somewhere in my build thread, but I masked off the indented sections of the spokes, painted that black, and polished the dishes/lips.
