    Personally, I love the snowflakes painted body color on that body style. I just think the angles on body and wheels match up nicely.

    I think crab wheels look great on the square cars like Shelby Chargers and K cars.

    Re: wheels for the lebaron

    i think i know where i can get a set off of a spirit thats silver im repainting it but its staying silver. the pics are decieving my clearcoats coming off. i have all my money into the engine work... T2 conversion and a bunch of performance stuff. whatever goes on it would look better if it was sleeper like, since thats what im going for. you cant even see the 27-12 intercooler behind the hood. im leaving the turbo badging off of it too i think.

    On your car, I like Crabs, pumpers don't look too bad or even the GTC/Lancer diamond spoke would look good.

    thats too bad, the links helpful, id been there but i forgot about it. i can buy a set of 16-6" pumpers for 200 up here, there a little rashed, but i could probably sand them down and repaint them,or pay someone else too. everyone says the pumpers would be ugly on my car but i think ill buy them anyway, whats the worst that could happen? ugly rims on an already style challenged car lol i like the look of my car but it has NO smoothness. i want to get some lancer/gtc wheels but i cant find any locally and i dont wanna pay to have some shipped, but i definably think those would look best on the car. ig put pizza's on it before crabs.

    IMO eggshells are the least rare. Pretty much every Turbo J-Body has them.

    Yea, but with a little work they still make a nice wheel.

    I was thinking of the Wagon wheel.

    I liked the eggshells on my van when I used them for winter rims.

    I agree.But they are a total pain to do. I attempted to do the stock ones on my baron i did one poorly ,gave up and got some lace wheels.How did you go about doing yours? Your baron is amazing by the way.

    the pumpers are only 150 actually... 16 by 6" i think ill go for those. so what size tire? i know there 55's stock but do you think a 50 series would look as good/better?

    Thanks. Actually, the polishing part only takes about 20-30 minutes per wheel, and once they're polished the painting is really easy too...the paint doesn't stick to the polished surfaces.
