I absolutely love the gold rims on the silver car. If that car had more power (which it easily could), it would be the ultimate sleeper.

I baught the car in 1996 with 2000 miles.

I agree with everyone else when they say that the rims are on the more ugly side. They are kind of ricey. Other that, it looks good.
