So why do you like them and or why do you hate them?

gracias senor......
and i like them, but they don't look right on every bonneville...i would say only green, ruby, and white....and they are more involved when cleaning....so i guess it depends on how detailed u are when cleaning ur car

Meguires wheel cleaner is the best, I also put ceramic pads on mine and now between the Meguires and the ceramic pads they stay pretty clean with no hassles. I have "ghetto gold" by the way.

I like them on certain colors... black and white being the best in my opinion followed by green. Also depends on the trim. If you have the gold trim, they look better than with silver. They also don't look bad on other cars either (2003 Impala LS in white and 2000 Buick Regal GSE in Jasper Pearl Green)

Green and Ghetto Gold just happens to be the closest i can get to Green and Yellow on a car 
However I hate the fact that mine are cracking and turning black. There once was a post about how to completely restore and recoat them. Can anyone find it?

thanks for the replies back, the reason I ask is because the 96 and 94 I am going to look at both have those rims and I am thinking I might ask them to switch the wheels from my 97 to one of the other 2 cars if I buy one. The 94 is Black and the 96 is a White color.

NOOOOO, keep the ghettos, they are easy to clean with the proper tools
