Impressive. I've been planning on buying some 5 spoke chrome rims for my 92, but I really like the off black chrome tint.

They look great!

I'd try and do something w/ the centercaps though...maybe put in some black GS caps, as opposed to the chromies that are in there now. Finding caps in black chrome will be tough...and I'm guessin' that the black gs caps would finish the look better than the chrome.

FWIW...There's a vendor on eBay that sells very nice black GS caps w/ the correct emblems. In fact, I bought a set from them myself.

They look cool, but I was always curious how the finish would hold up.

Was a concern of mine before buying. However, I don't drive it too much. Only put 3,400 mile on it in 3 years, so they should hold up well for my needs. Thanks for the input!!
