LT/LS Aftermarket wheels...SHOW EM!

Ok I just saw a similar thread for the SS. I've been searching hard for 18" rims I like on my 1LT so I figure if you all show yours off I may figure it out lol

Have at it!

Maybe us LS and LT people aren't as "into" wheels as the SS guys are, but I've got custom rims on two out of three.

Nobody ever sees it....... It's not in the wheels and tires section like you would think.

fwiw: This is the 1st vehicle that I actually really like the oem 17" polished mags..

So no aftermarket needed (at this time anyhow)...

I Hate the OEM supplied 17" polished wheels. I think they are FUGLY.

Some seem to like them, or don't care to buy a set of nice wheels, I think the later is most likely the reason. $$$ And most people just buy a car and drive it, not really caring to dress it up at all.

I use them as Winter wheels and cringe every time I see my Panel with them on it. I just don't like them at all.
I am keeping my eyes open for another set to use in the Winter. Chrome would be a nice easy to care for winter set for me.

2LT owner, and like a more old school looking wheel. I have always liked to add some form of wheels and tires on my cars.

At the very least a wider tire with raised white lettering, nothing much out there in raised white lettering on 17" tires now days.

17" Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's, Non Coated, Polished Billet Aluminum.

I got these used from a former member here. Timing and the price was right at the time.
Spent some time cleaning and polishing them up.
