19Cutlass94 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 The rims I have now, and several years old, and are starting to show some side effects of the years of use. Im looking for 17's, but width.... 7"..8"..? I dont know how wide of a rim I can fit on the Cutlass without running into issues or having it look stupid. Im also looking for a rim that doesnt weigh as much as the car. I need something light. I absolutely love 5spokes, but Im open to any suggestions. I was thinking of getting black rims this time, but am unsure of how they would look on the car. I currently have polished aluminum rims, and they are a PITA... Can you guys help me out?! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
