NOHC_WBody Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 On a trip to the boneyard today, looking in the vain hopes of finding another 2.2 for the wife's car(she made me go look, instead of just bashing away on it without checking first) I came across another CS International, a sedan and bought the wheels off it. I gave 50 bucks for all four, and oddly enough, considering my recent luck, the tires still have a suprising amount of tread on them(two of them still have the molding hairs on them). So, I threw them on my 90' Lumina, "The Boomina"(seeing as how it needs a muffler and does a damn good aural impression of a UPS truck). Opinions? Snide comments? Anything? Yeah, I know it needs a bath., but after recent weather, washing a car around here does about as good as a free month of Everquest for a World of Warcraft junkie. Quote
Crazy K Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 they don't look good on a lumina. But thats mostly because I need your rims for my convertable!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $50 bucks???? WOW! Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 They, don't look terrible...but it's a base lumina. Quote
NOHC_WBody Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 but it's a base lumina. m4dd lightweight sp33d y0! I can't complain about it. I bought it with the intention of using it as a parts car, but ended up driving it quite a bit. Quote
terryk2003 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 why does everyone like these international wheels soo much!~? FWIW: they look better on your lumina then they do on a cutlass IMO Quote
Crazy K Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 I want to replicate the 88 pace car rims. they would look alot better that way! Quote
3pt1lumina Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Can't say if I like it or not. It looks okay but not the first choice I'd choose. Can't go wrong for the price tho! And on a side note, I didn't know you had this vehicle? It's my car's sister base 90 Lumina Quote

jeremy Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 why does everyone like these international wheels soo much!~? I'm not sure what the deal is either I would rather rock MCC's steelies Quote
TeeJay3800 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 I love those wheels, but not on a Lumina. How the heck did you find them in a salvage yard anyways? I've been looking for them for years around here! Quote
NOHC_WBody Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Posted February 22, 2006 There's a boneyard near me that I've been buying parts off of for years. The owner's good about holding stuff for me that I might be interested in. I almost bought a set of white crosslaces a while back (to strip and paint) for it, until I saw the other two...curb rash from hell. Quote
trainman Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 Just my opinion....but they look like a frisbee....I never was a big fan of those wheels. As long as you like them....that's what matters Quote
EviLette Posted February 22, 2006 Report Posted February 22, 2006 washing a car around here does about as good as a free month of Everquest for a World of Warcraft junkie. ...That is an amazingly astute quote, especially given the fact that I'm a damn WoW junkie. Around here, we call it World of Warcrack though... haha... And I'm with trainman... glad you like them, that's all that REALLY matters... but I'm not too fond of them myself. Quote

What server do you play on? I've got a 49 human Warlock and a 19 human warrior on Ursin, and my wife has a gaggle of characters on Durotan. I've also got a couple of horde characters on Cho'gall.

92LuminaRS Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 I have to drop a on those... For $50 you got a really good deal IMO, and those would make awesome winter tires. Mabye if they were black they would look good? They remind me way too much of rims that you would see on a rappers SUV. :? Quote
cutty Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 i think they look pretty good on your car! Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 I hate those damn wheels. Pace-car painted or not. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 Not a bad deal, although I sold mine with tires for around $39 on Ebay. Should have put a reserve, I would have kept 'em for that price. Quote
ns87 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 I dislike those wheels, but they actually look pretty good on your lumina. cant beat the price Quote
maybe2fast Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 put your hands in the air and step away from the ugly W-body wheels Quote
White93z34 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 IMO they look alot better then the Olds 5 spokes everyone seems to be obssesed with. Quote
digitaloutsider Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I hate those damn wheels. Pace-car painted or not. :flip: IMO they look alot better then the Olds 5 spokes everyone seems to be obssesed with. I hate the Cutlass and GP (brushed aluminum) 5-spokes. The GP ones look damn good when they're high-polished, though. Quote
92LuminaRS Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 I have to resurect(sp?) this with my origional thought.... Quote
