They kinda ruin the black/dark appearance of the ca but then, kinda set it apart from the rest. But they are sweet though. I say do it.

Dude don't get hung up on a "theme"

Just do what you think looks good.

They looked awesome on Heavy's car (I was surprised when you got rid of them too)

It's not that I'm hung up on a theme, I'm just saying the black rims look good IMO. But I do like the 077's. Just gotta decide if I wanna spend $600 on them

What do you have for winter rims if any? They could be a nice set for summer and use the black ones you have now for winter.

I think for your car you need a set of SUPER glossy black rims and it would set off the entire look. IMO the chrome rims stick out compared to the rest of the car.

I love the look of glossy black rims and think they would make great summer rims. They'd give the shiny look you want but not stand out as much as the chrome rims do.

077s are probably the best looking rim on the W-Bodies.

You'd be a fool not to take them.

do it.... heavychevys pic alone should be reason enough to do it... he had a bit of the black and maroon theme going on too

sometimes the 3rd color (chrome) can look good... it compliments your exhaust tips and the chrome on the bowtie.. with these rims IMO even the chrome around the window trim would have looked good... thats actually why I left mine on the Lumina... i know you painted yours back

check the nut on the rack and see if it's wet down there. That's where they like to leak.

he's an idiot for not taking 500 cash then. That's a fair price for both of you (but still more than I'd want to pay used)

I say stick with the black theme. Your car looks good dark, and I think the chrome rims take away from that.

I think if you are a law-abiding driver - though I am not sure one of those exists on here - then go with the chrome rims, they give your car a nice pop of style and will get you some more notice. If not, stick with black, blend into the background and try desperately to change your ways
