Put some new wheels on the Burb the other day. What do you think?

When I had my suburban shipped to me 2 months ago it didn't have wheels that fit on it. Someone slapped some 2000 Silverado wheels on it with 2 lug nuts. The center bore was way too small and the vehicle could not be driven. I got a set of Brand new escalade take off wheels and tires and had the center bore enlarged to 3.5 inches. I then had to install a 2 inch rear adapter so they wouldn't rub on the inside of the rear wheel well. This worked so I could at least drive the truck and iron out all of the problems it had. It hadn't been on the road since 1990.

The escalade wheels looked very clean but way too boring for me. I got a set of 24 inch wheels for next to nothing from a buddy and put them on. These are not the wheels I really want but I think they look way better than the escalade wheels. They are a little large but surprisingly do not rub anywhere.

How do you guys think it looks.
Like I said they are not my favorite wheels. I would like to do a 5 lug conversion and get some 20 inch torque thrust polished wheels with a deep dish and a fat rear tire. So don't worry about hurting my feelings.
