i thinkt he ZQ8's have a good style that would work, but they seam small onthe car, if they were a bit larger like 17" or so then I would say hands down go for them but as they are I'm not sure. I would stick with the stockers, but keep the others for a change

Ya, I really like to see the contrast of the aluminum and painted areas.

This is how I am leaning - using the ZQ8's for a change now and then. They look small because they are tiny tires on them now - 225/50's which are too short, and the height of the car compounds the awkwardness as it sits.

I've never been too fond of the ZQ8's. Stockers for me.

Stockers it is :) I put them back on and plan to have the car lowered a couple inches. I will probably refinish the ZQ8's when I get a chance and use them for "something different" now and then :D

Looking for something like this when the ZQ8's are redone (would probably keep painted areas though instead of completely polished):

Yep I like the stockers over the others but I really like the zq8's shiny aluminum finish against the white, really sets the car off. Just don't care for the look of zq8's.

I like the stockers better on the white myself. Those ZQ8 look better on the black for some reason. You might try the newer ZQ8 wheels or the Extreme wheels. I have them on my wagon and really like the look. The shaker really sets you car off and I think they look best in white.
