    My car came with 245/50/16 Nexen tires with a substantial amount of tread life left. Only bad thing is they're ugly chrome rims =/. Any ideas of what rims to get? Or should I just save up and get smaller tires/rim package. BTW its a 97 all black grand prix gt. Any ideas? I can throw some pics up later tonight.

    Here's an older pic of my car. I had to put stock struts/springs so it is not lowered and now it is completely blacked out, no red, debadged, and figure satin grilles. Anyways, this is my current rim set up. I'm just not to fond of them, I really want black rims, but small black rims just dont seem right. I was thinking of getting machined finished rims to match grilles and get machined quad tips? I don't know any ideas? Should I just wait a while and get all new tires/rims together? Inputs please thanks =]

    16's never look good. u gotta go BIGGER. only reason i still have 16's is cause theyre so light and i got them cheap. otherwise id already have white 19's.
