I have a 98 XLT which has the 15' teardrop rims. I want to move up to the 16' wheels to give it more of a beefy look. I have found a set of 16' Tri spoke rims from a 98 eddie bauer which has good tires and the rims look great. Will these look wierd on my car? should i hold out on the 16' teardrop? opinions please

see that one has all that body cladding which makes it look bigger which mines does so i didn't know if i would look odd.

IMHO, I think the 3 spoke rims, look like flashy hub caps, Ive never liked them. But, to all their own opinion.

Bill Kemp used to have Eddie Bauer rims on his '96 XLT. It looked great but it was totaled, unfortunately. I'm wondering if he stil lhave pics of his old rig.
