Yesterday, I was heading to my work. I saw SE model 2001-03 either since they are galaxy silver. I wish I never seen that. I need wash my eyes with soap. My god that's ugly car I ever seen. This car have nice clean body but gold crosslace rims kill the look. Please don't tell me it is from factory that Pontiac sell this silver car with gold rims? I was hoping it is custom option for his own taste.
All I have seen gold crosslace on dark green and gold color cars. Now add that list for galaxy silver. Where is vomit smile? lol

What decided whether they were gold or silver? My 97 SE has the silver crosslaces. I know everyone hates them, but I think they look nice. *shrug*

If it is silver rim then I'm sure it will look nice but gold rim on silver car is nasty. If I'm hearing person. I will snap the picture from cellphone for sure. I can't see driver because he/she tint the window.
I don't like this rim because it is painful to keep it clean! I have seen lot of crosslace (silver/gold rims) dirty.

That's a fair point. Mine have stayed in amazingly good shape for whatever reason, much better than my torquestars.

I saw a Gold car with the gold rims at the local CarMax when I was shopping for my GP. I ran away as fast as I could. Are you talking about these wheels?  Pontiac had some gold with chrome lips back in the late 80s.

72chevman: Yes, that's call crosslace I believe? There is my short cheap photochop  Look pretty much same what I saw other day. Silver body with gold rim don't match at all.

Originally posted by GrindingNemo: I have a set of those exact rims.

I have always said "straight up", but you're the second guy in a week to say "straight across" on this board. I'm not bashing, just curious.
