Just leave them the way they are. Its better stock then anything else other then aftermarket. You could pick up different hubcaps at walmart or w/e but they areugly and your not fooling anyone lol. Some people have painted steels, but again,not that great.

^LMAO! NICE! I'd just keep searching craigslist. I see wheels on there every week that I want for around $200 with tires. Then you can sell your steelies! lol

lol its just what I like, I like your old ones that got taken, the black/gold looks sick with black. My old rims were more flashy, but still simple, now I got these that are more for performance but still look good, gunmetel goes with my black windows, and you dont see to many people with them, thats pretty much how I pick em out.
