Default saleen wheels try out

i been wondering how would my father's saleen wheels on his GTP would look on my monte carlo, well i had a chance yesterday to tried them out. after the wheels were on i didn't like them at all. they look better on the GTP than the monte imo. i just didn't like the chrome look.

I'm not a big fan of the thinner spoked rims on the Monte. I love my 17inch stock rims on the 05.

Definately would look better on a darker car. Silver cars need darker rims IMO. I dont like chrome rims on silver cars. I like your bullitts way better.

lol you no silly wabbit that's not a squirrel on the center caps. it's a pontiac indian head logo.

i don't like the saleen rims period even if it's black...the all black is even worst i think. it makes the wheels appearance look dirty. the bullitt will be stay on the monte for sure.

here's how the saleen look on the grand prix.
