Not bad.

Where do you live? The leaves aren't even on the trees yet. Winter looks like its still around!

Thanks Otto. I know many people on these forums are purists and anything that is not stock is not good. I say, make the car your own! Express yourself and have a little fun. It's not my problem car makers took forever to realize big wheels do a lot for the overall look of a car. A red car screams for chrome in my opinion and nowadays 18" wheel size or larger are the thing.

I live outside Detroit. Just beginning to get nice here. I was looking forward to the huge gathering of Oldsmobile owners in Lansing, MI on June 20 but it has been canceled due to you know what. I am sick of that damn virus. I shouldn't say that in light of the many tens of thousands that have died. Hopefully we, as a nation, will be better prepared for the next pandemic.

I have friends in Dearborn (Wayne Township) who are Cadillac and Olds people. They're at every show. I also have a friend in Grand Rapids and one in Kazoo.

I'm in Atlanta. Leaves have been on trees for a month and spring is almost over. It's hotter than hell already!

Looks awesome! Any details about them? My next plan is to get some chrome rims also. I like the style of hd wheels but I'm still open to other options.

I'm actually digging those chrome wheels. If you happen to be looking for spare wheels or tires in the future, you might opt for these wheel and tire packages. Not only are they high-quality, but they're also very affordable.

Sonny: thanks for the info but I seem to get lucky buying on Craigslist. I like buying used, local and direct from the seller. This set is my latest Craigslist purchase of winter wheels:

I didn't much care for the oem wheels for winter usage:

I love your color paint and pinstripe. Is that an original color offered or a repaint?
