Excuse the crappy photoshopping, but

 

Do you guys think these American Racing Aeros would look good on my car? I was thinking about just the polished ones.

only 127.39 at summit racing and i'd get them with 7.95 shipping (bought wheels from them before)

They look very similar to my Eagle 192's:

Summit says the backspacing is +42mm, which is too far "in" for a 1st Generation W-Body. You want to stick with something that's, at most, +38mm (Grand Prix 5-spokes are +24mm, but that offset would push the wheels farther outside the fenders...)

I think they look sweet. I was going to get a set of those for the Beretta, but decided for a more factory look. I would recommend getting those in a 17 or 18 inch wheel, if they make em. W's are bigger cars, so a bigger wheel should look nice.

I've seen those on a 97-03 body Grand Prix GTP in my area.

 

I personally didn't like the look, but I don't care for old school looking wheels at all. To me it looked like it would better fit a Mustang or old muscle car better than a Cutlass.

I agree that 17's would probably look better but since I pretty much drive the shit out of this car, and I have a nice set of tires in 16" already, i'm just gonna stay with them. I just pretty much want to keep my current tires and put them on new wheels.
