I voted Nay.
I liked the look of some ''late model'' ['99 -2000] GM factory wheels and they were dirt cheap. $75 for four rims in 16'' diameter. Then I got the pricing on some wheel adapters, ~$95 a wheel [x 4].
I would have also had to have a machinist mill out the inside diameters to fit my Warn hubs in front.
Also the application was a '67 K/10 Suburban. Heavy body and 4 wheel drive. I live in Arizona, so it's no carshow poser. It can get rough out there.
Too many small parts to go wrong when you least need trouble.
I had to pass. Would've looked cool, but 'looks' is what it ain't about for me.
