No worries if the BFG's don't last too long, I picked them up for about 1/3 cost of new.

Awesome! I'm not always a fan of chrome on White, but these look to be a shade darker than typical chrome, so it'll be interesting to see how they contrast. Definitely going to be the nicest FWD Bonneville when you're done.
Ever consider any firewall/engine bay smoothing and/or deletes of stuff under the hood?

Oh, thanks for the rims man... 
I am so jealous. I'm just dreaming how good those would look on a 92-99. Very nice!

Wow. Those look amazing. Just as good or better than chrome I think.
They look even better on once on the GXPEi.

Very nice! I think chrome suits Pearl White quite nicely.

How do those spots look now?

Non-existent. They were professionally repaired. Welded, smoothed on a lathe, bead blasted and hand sanded.

DROOOLING!! Those do look amazing. I can't wait to see them actually on the car. I like that they are slightly darker than normal chrome!

White on chrome boots is ALWAYS the best combo...must be why I own two cars with that combo!
I'll echo!
They look great! Get em mounted! (in the spring I presume)?

Those wheels look so sharp! I can't believe how nice they came out, and the repairs they did are phenomenal.
Reeeeeally makes me want GXP wheels now, chrome or not.
