urbex Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I personally like the first rims more. Those white LTZ are hawt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I have a slight obsession over white cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 The first wheels on a black car look excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarloDude Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I love LTZ/LS rims myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2k2cse Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I say option 1. I like the sharper lines better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman093 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Number 2 is my personal preference. As a third option you could get number 2 in white: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Not a fan of either? If I had to choose though, I'd say #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Not a fan of either? If I had to choose though, I'd say #2 I don't care if you don't like either. It's not your car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbex Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 unless you are doing door jams / engine bay as well, I personally wouldn't do a color change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbex Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Well, I have like 6 months until I'd do it anyways, so there's plenty of time for me to change my mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbex Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Ha ha, Matt's already asked about him painting his GTP. The Lumina would be an all summer project, plus I wanted to get him to help repaint the door on my truck. Unfortunately his hands are pretty full....

AMP Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I personally like both, I say either which everyones you can get cheaper but option one is slightly a bit better then two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminaPower92 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 If your going black, I say PC the 2nd set black, but leave the lip polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carkhz316 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 The first wheels on a black car look excellent Funny you say that..... Ya, I'm a little partial about the 1st ones, but I think both look good on a clean Lumi or Monte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3pt1lumina Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hmm.. I like both. I did my 96 with the Monte LS wheels, did my 97 with the LTZ wheels, and my white 97 already had the Lumina LS wheels... I have all 3 versions which means I have too many Luminas I am not sure how hard they are to find, but the LTZ wheels are nearly impossible to find in decent shape here. The LS wheels are all over the place, red centers are from a Z34 and silvers are from an LS. And when looking at the LTZ wheels silver centers are from an LTZ and reds are from a Z34... if that matters to you. I can send you pics of what they look like on my base Luminas if you need em.
