I think it's ugly. Poorly chosen styles- Z3 fenders, hideous rims, lame tail lights.
Whatever you put into getting all of those changed and painted, you'd have been better off working on performance and doing more subtle body work.

Wrong - there have been a few CEGer's show up with those same hideous wheels on their Contours, and they got flamed for them too.
I'll go so far as to say that those wheels look TERRIBLE on ANY car!

payment plan. two wheels now, the other two after Christmas 
the car's ok IMO. i dont really care for Cavaliers but it looks ok. BUT, i think those rims are so FUGLY  and theyre OLD. if youre gonna buy new rims, why buy such an old style? i actually prefer those stock wheels over those chrome "things".

Spot on. Should be some current race style for the same price. Those wheels come out in 89?

He has had those wheels since 1998. We just didnt pick them up yesterday. Yeah every since the cf hood he rides the stock wheels. Cause heavy chrome and cf hood kinda defeats the purpose.

If he puts the stock tail-lights back on and tint them with night shades, and then got a tuner style wheels it would look eleventy jillion times better.
