    Both, but have been favoring the bling more.

    I've got better things to do then polish my rims so my street cars always get Auto-drag centerline satin finish rims. No rim is easier to care for and they actually improve the handling and braking because they are LITE. I would never drop coin for rims heavier than stockers.

    I run the free, Buick Grand Nation wheels off of my cousin's old Newport. I was going for that '70's look. In an ideal world, I'd have some American Racing Dukes of Hazard-style rims.

    Stuck with the Welds my car came with when I bought it. I have mixed feelings about them however they do serve a purpose. I've been running my mouth for a long time about buying Ralley wheels and doing 15x7 on the front and 15x8s out back. That time is coming soon! :2thumbs:

    Thanks! :2thumbs: Some days I love them and think it makes the car look menancing, but some days I want a stock stealthy look too. I will hold on to them for sure whatever I do.

    I am not a purist by any means, that is why my car has a sixpack, but I do like the factory look on cars, always have. My car is wearing 15X7 Rallye's, but I currently don't have the beauty rings. Will get them eventually. My taste in after market wheels is very limited. Don't like most of them. As with everything, what looks good on one car, doesn't on another.

    That's what makes every car different. :bananasmi It reflects their personal taste.

    Love my rallyes, but they are wider than stock out back 8" instead of 7".

     :iagree: That's why I switched from the 72-74 cap to the 71 cap, way better looking.
