But I'd really like to go with a different set of wheels altogether. However, I don't have the money for that right now, I might consider painting the wheel covers. Let me do a quick photoshop & see what it'd look like first.

      Well i ended up buying these tonight... i will post some pics with them installed!

      I may have my local sign shop cut out some chevy emblems to put in the middle round part... we will see. I like adding that little extra touch. I may have them done in red, but black would be my next choice.

      No.. i have been playing that game for 10 years and i am ready to stop lol. I just want a car that i dont have to lay 1 finger on... I just wanna drive it and NOTHING else lol.

      I bought a set of old school 3 piece HRE's on CL for $100 awhile back. I have a weakness for old school parts.

      I like those. To me they're VW/Audi-ish. (Old school.)

      If you have the 4 lug hubcaps don't be afraid to sell them on here, switching out your lug nuts to match wouldn't hurt either. I don't need a set, but i'm sure someone would be interested. The hub caps you picked up do look good for being hubcaps lol, I can't wait to afford some nice rims for mine.

      I saw a few sets of wheels that I would love to buy from tirerack. I also want to get a different set of tires (which will include a tpms kit), and tirerack will put the tpms in, balance & mount the wheels & tires (both tpms install & balance & mount are free), and then ship to wherever you want. Which would mean all I'd have to do is switch out the wheels myself, and then figure out how to set the tpms. If that fails (trying to set the tpms), I could just take it to the dealer...

      And then I could save the old wheels for something else. Which is when I would paint the wheel covers for sure.

      Well i got them... and they look horrible installed (as all freaking hub caps do). This is why i HATE hubcaps, they look awesome in pics... but awful in real life.

      I may just stick with the stockers, they are starting to grow on me.
