Default Del Sol Wheels

Im looking to buy a new set of wheels for my del sol and I wanted to know peoples opinions to see if they would look good on my del sol. Also the tires are 225/50/16 which everywhere I check is to big to fit on a del sol but are they able to fit or should I change them out for a lower profile tire. The tires are brand new so if I get the wheels I will just have to sell the other tires and get some lower profiles.

those would be HOT if this were 1988 and you had a vanilla ice cassette.

and yes, the tires are too wide 225....and too high 50's, i think you'd want 205/45/16, or if you weren't too low 215....

Ya the only reason that I asked about them is because I can get them very cheap and didnt know if it was worth it so I needed some other peoples opinions.

When you say you could get those rims for cheap. What price are we talking about? and i would avoid chrome. Could you post a pic of your Sol?

I actually just bought some brand new wheels from discount tire direct and got a great price on them because I already had some brand new tires that would fit them that someone gave me but Ill post a pic of my sol with the new wheels on it tomorrow.

That first set wouldn't look too bad painted, but do whatever you want. Tires alone are worth a fair amount, so you could always sell them.
