Size:  532.3 KBI really wanted to keep the steel wheel look on the ltd.... but I wanted to step up to a 15 wheel! I had some 10 holes, but the were pretty rough... Since this is a budget build that I don't want to spend to much time fussing over, I decided to paint the 10 holes rather than trying to refurb them...

    I really wanted to do something different... love it or hate it, I decided to paint them beige (for that steel wheel look), and leave the center cabs stainless (or whatever they are.) was going for that old school painted wheels with baby moons look. I think it looks grandpa fresh, but curious to see what you guys thing?

    Would have been cool to put some time into sanding the aluminum face and just color matching the inlays.

    You have too much camber. lol

    Not a fan of the 10 holes, so I will not comment further.

    It's okay, I'm not a big fan of them either... but you got to work with what you got when you're committed to sticking to a tight budget. the 14's just didn't offer enough tire choices. I was trying to mimic painted steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps... The end result isn't perfect, but good enough for this ol turd.

    Sorry! I didn't mean to be rude. I wasn't trashing your wheel setup. I completely understand going with the 10 holes and might do the same in your situation. As I stated I am not a fan of the 10 hole wheels, so I just don't like them period.

    The wheels don't look bad, I am not a fan of color matched wheels in most situations, so again probably not the guy to comment. I personally prefer the wheels to be a nice contrast in many cases to the body color.

    The wheels don't look bad or audacious in any way and do flow with the design of the car. If the sleeper look and steel wheel vibe is what you wanted then I would say overall it turned out pretty well.

    Lookin fine. Body color works good here. They enhance focus on the body color and lines.
    Wonder how they would look without painting the narrow rim part and painting the center?
    Thinking like how mesh wheels look like. Bright 'beauty rim', center cap bright, or painted/not, the rest of the wheel painted.
