the red seats and calipers really set of the std wheels otherwise I do not think it would have nearly the punch it does now. 
Funny stuff, man!!

Depending on the paint color of the car, I think the wagon wheels can look terrific or bland.
I bought my 98 new and there were very few alternative available at that time. I wasn't in love with them,
but a funny thing happened over time. One, they grew on me. Two, as the thin spokes became more
common, people started asking me "Where did you get those wheels, I really like them."
Bottom line -- I like them. I see plenty of other wheels, that I don't like nearly as well.

Chrome wagons to me are ok if the car is lowered.
Grey finished look like cheap junk especially the center cap.
At least there light and cheap for a nice set of track wheels.

When I first got this car I realy did not like the WW. I added the decals and they grew on me over time. I would not change them for thin spokes. To each his own but I realy like them.

My '98 has them, didn't like them till I really started looking into alternatives and the fact that most/some are cheaply done and don't last as long as some of the bazillion dollar units. Besides being lighter I have better things to do with my money. Especially after seeing how nice they look black with a chrome or red stripe at the lip and a chrome center cap. Right now mine have the plastic blackouts attached to them. Somebody asked earlier where to buy them...MAKE them ! It's not brain surgery. Go to a paint supply house that carries pinstripe tape and get black 2" roll, decide on the shape you want and measure, make a template out of cardboard and get your moms scissors out. Very simple. Mine are on their 2nd year.

I believe in the Beer Fairy
When I bought my car I swore that was going to be the first thing to go. (that was nearly 2 years ago) Then everything started to break and I'm yet to be able to fork out the money for different wheels. I still can't wait for the day when I can take those hideous wheels off my car.
oh well.
oh well.

Not crazy about them. Chrome WW's ones on mine, had the car about a year. I want something else, chrome C5 Z06 I think. Nothing painted. Just trying to decide what it is and finding a 'deal' on some.

i like the silver wagon wheels if the car is lowered and windows tinted. its not a bad looking wheel, its not a "high end" supercar look, but its a tastful 5 spoke rim. 911s had something that looked almost identical to them a few years back.
