Gotta love the 5X100 bolt pattern, and it's widespread use.

Whattaya think about these stock Neon wheels on my Sunflower???

SRT wheels would look ok, Those look bad on a neon and worse on a J.

Actually, I plan on painting them black with gunmetal inserts come spring.

Well, what can I say, I guess I'm a ricer at heart. I'll be getting a carbon fiber hood come income tax anyways.

They're the stock 15" size wheels, so they look small, but I'm not into big wheels. Plus, bigger wheels add weight, and I'm making this a strip/show car.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it!!!!

I think they look pretty good, somehow it just like flows with the color IMO.
But... have you thought about painting them like a gunmetal or bronze/gold color??

Or C, they fit just fine. I know alot of Chrysler 5-lugs have fittment issues, namely the early 80-s K-car wheels, but these fit just fine.

^^^ I don't get what you're saying. You don't have to have big wheels to have a show car.

Yeah, but these actually felt a bit lighter than my stock 15" wheels W/ dubcaps. Anyways, I'm just not into bigger wheels. I guess I'm old school.
