    Lumina Wheels...Opinions Please

    So I want to get one of these two sets of wheels for my Lumina. Both were available on the LTZ model, which someday I kinda want mine to be a clone of...

    There's this one:



    Or this one:




    I just want opinions on those two wheels. I have toyed with the idea of the LS style wheel, but think I'd rather go with the LTZ wheels....

    Well hopefully mine won't be white at that point... But I did specifically look for white cars in the picture. I do looove this one:



    I think it's because it looks just like my mom's Monte she had, and I loved that car!

    I say option 1. I like the sharper lines better.

    I don't care if you don't like either. It's not your car!

    Well, I'd like to paint the car black this summer, so white is out of the question. If the car were to stay white I'd consider it, but it'd just look goofy on a black car.

    unless you are doing door jams / engine bay as well, I personally wouldn't do a color change

    My dad has repainted whole cars different colors before, and he does a pretty good job. We'd do the door jambs, trunk, and most under hood stuff. Probably not the whole engine bay since that would be quite a bit of work for parts no one really sees. I'd probably do the bottom of the hood and the radiator support, but as for like the strut towers, nah.
