aluminum wheels are fugly
there has to be a better choice for my 35,000 car than wheels that look so lame. Steel wheels and chrome rock the hotrod universe and they always will.
Is there a solution? |

I mean, I'm kinda fond of the stock RS / SS wheels and I only don't like them because of weight. I definitely wouldn't go for steel or chrome, personally.
That said. There is a dedicated wheels and tires subforum further down the main camaro5 forum page. I'm positive people have similar tastes to your own.

I like the OEM SS/RS wheels but didn't care for the clear over the polished aluminum because it created a haze that was difficult to buff out. I decided to strip the clear and then polish and buff the wheels. I think they look great.
