New wheels or keep em?

Hello I have a huge dillema on my hands right now!

Do i keep my heavy chrome 21 inch GM rims? Or sell em and get some black rims?

I'd keep them until you need new tires at least, after that it's a toss up.

They look great on the car. But 21" tires are real expensive and there are not too many options out there. I would invest in a set of 20s. Our vendors have a lot of great deals under 3k for shipped wheels and tires. Good luck in what ever you do.

The bigger you go the more expensive they are and harder to find. If you really want black, go for it! I am not a big fan of Chrome, but they look good on the car!!! Good Luck and do what makes you happy!

They're not bad looking wheels, so I don't think there's a problem with keeping them. Of course if the mod bug hits you just as hard as everybody else, including myself, you'll probably want to look into changing them... But for the moment, they're not bad

you might want to toy with the thought of powdercoating them. Perhaps even doing something different like making the main spokes black and the thin ones yellow, that would look sweet. I haven't seen anyone mod those wheels and would be unique. Try playing with photoshop some with your current wheels to get some ideas.
